RE: Looking for a lap counter system

RE: MR Ninja MR21 B01 5 port Off-Road Competition Buggy Engine

I experienced the same problem during break-in. Just pry it loose and try again. After a few tanks it will stop locking up. This motor just has a lot of pinch and compression that it will lock up TDC...

RE: 1/8 Scale Exceed-RC Razor

TeamVTX VTX-B1: The best RTR buggy for the price. You will eventually end up replacing the radio (1st) and the motor (2nd), but the chassis is really good as well as their customer service.

RE: Looking for a good race buggy under 350?

You could look at a TeamVTX VTX-B1. We are running a few at our track and the chassis is pretty good. The motor is ok, but won't last. The only thing bad about the RTR is the radio, but that is the...

I ran the Ninja on the track today and even though I need to fine-tune it a little bit, this motor is excellent! The temps stay pretty low (230), the performance is really good. It's easy to tune and...
