Great "sport" buggy! Take a look at the Pro edition for the CNC upgrades! These will probably be your first replacment parts list! But with AMain hobbies, atleast you will be able find the parts at a resonable price, and fast shipping. CNC >> steering knuckles, rear hub carrier, pin holders FR/BK, chassis brace FR/BK, after the upgrades I have realy been able to test this buggy out! It's built like a tank! The Mac .28 engine that it comes with SUX, blows way to many holes, even after seal[]

I think I have the standard Hyper 8 w some 8.5 upgrades..bought it off eBay as a roller for $163.50..put in a Hitec HS-645MG and JR DS-821 servos..running a Sirio .27 Monster Big Block w Tiger Drive..running Pro-Line Crime Fighter, Hole Shot tires..great Off-road buggy..tough, durable; great looks; good speed

Great buggy, lots of fun. Well built and lots of power giving it has a .28 bigblock in it. Still tuning it but takes off like a rocket. Just look on the Internet for carb settings n what valves are what cuz the book doesn't tell you. But again it's a great, well built car for the price. Get one if u get the chance!

great car well built, came in box with some weird tire settings and the engine was kinda difficult to tune, and the servo went out but if you replace the servos and tweak it just right this is a great car

This buggy performs very well. Once broke in the engine is very surprising as far as power. I have no problems with the engine and quite honestly have not found the need for more. I race the buggy at Daytona and for me everything it does well. I also have a factory team RC8 and I have to admit that this buggy does well compared to it. It absorbs the terrain very nicely and really turns in good when properly set up. The above review must have had some very severe set up issues because this buggy []

Also Wong... if you have no steering travel (the hyper 8 (.5) has the most steering travel of any buggy out there....check the duel rates on your radio and use a 5 cell 6V pack for power not the 4 cell holder with reg batts... they are STD servos remember that dont think there gonna throw the car around with lots of power they arent... but add a 6V pack and they will have more power and speed... and like i said if you have no steering throw check and make sure your duel rates are set for max th[]

To bad Wong you must of got a lemon,great buggy for a rtr, no problems in break in,a little loose in the motor not like a Picco or Force motor.Any nitro you have to make ajustments to them thats part of it.Speed is great,handles great,but i'am using a Skeptrum DX3.

Timothy, you are wong. LOL! I broke in one of these buggies and it is definately a winner. I broke it in using the heat cycle method. It scoots and turns on a dime. Timothy, if your servos are sucking, chances are your receiver pack is low/dead. That is what happened with my Chaos (Bad AAA battery from the package.). I highly recommend this buggy to anyone looking for an RTR that can handle its own at the track. The price is also hard to beat with the included 8.5 conversion. A Main Hobbies is t[]

Wow...Ok...admittedly, the stock engine and servos aren't very good. Same can be said for most RTRs on the market. I raced the RTR buggy for a good portion of last summer. With upgraded servos and engine (Ace DS1313 and Werks B3 /2013 combo) and this buggy was very solid for me, on the track. I didn't break anything. And I was turning very consistent, fast laps. I'm pretty much a CMain or worse driver, lol. Quick laps on my home track avg around 34 sec. I was turning consistent low 36 and high 3[]

This car has the looks but it cannot back it up, AT ALL!!!!!! First off max speed of 55 mph more like 15mph. I ran 4 tanks of gas though it to break it in, then i started to drive it around the driveway just to experience that the car only went 10 mph. I don't know what happened:break drag,horrible engine,uneven wheels,bad cluch.But i do know that the servos suck!!!!!!!!.the wheels won't even turn fully. they have about 2 inches of movment, then when i let go of the wheel the wheels don't even c[]
