LRP S8 Rebel BX3 1/8 RTR Off Road 4WD Nitro Buggy
Buyers beware.
Let’s just say I won’t be buying LRP products ever again.
LRP missed the mark with this Turd.
The transmitter ,servos are a complete joke.
Spur gear has a wobble to it. It doesn’t spin straight.
The bell housing is warped.when both bearings are installed it binds. Does not spin free. The flywheel is the cheapest flywheel I’ve ever seen. The clutch shoe pins are not pressed in straight . The engine mount holes are a different measurement so it’s not universal to other 1/8 buggies. The body wasn’t trimmed nicely. The fuel tank lid doesn’t close on its own . You have push it closed. Engine power is subpar. I should of just returned it.
If your a first time nitro buyer stay away from this product. Stick with a kyosho neo ,losi 8ight or Kyosho mp9. They blow this out of the water.

Mine worked great! Yes it's a rtr so you can upgrade servos later but worked finr for bashing. shocks are butter and lot's of power. looks awesomein person. Great bang for the buck Razor RC did a review on youtube and he liked his also. he also compared to the others too such as the kyosho which costs pver 100 more and is slower.

LRP Buggy update: avoid this buggy at all
Costs , it’ll just end up being a big expensive paperweight like mine did. Amain sent me a replacement Servo , because mine was glitching and the replacement they sent was also glitching.. these servos are complete junk . I’m considering buying new ones or at least a new steering servo , the throttle one works fine. You’re better off buying a Kyosho inferno Neo 3.0 or the Kyosho Inferno MP9 Tki 4 V2 you won’t have problems with any of those as I own both of em.

So it’s similar to a duratrax! Is my honest thought, but… take their best buggy! And remove every duratrax problem ever! Add mugen beefy parts! And fathom whoever left the bad review! Is an upset neighbour needing you to stop driving it 5 hours a day! Best choice ever!
