Looks good for the price,look`s like fg wheels,poop I just paid $180 for fg wheels and tires.The buggy has an ugly body though.

The buggy looks like the 5th scale that Traxxas made years ago.

Looks like thier trying to get rid of thier old stock.

 

[jacosj]

doesn't VVtec have a similar lineup?

 

[cordy]

I know neutech usa had smartech but its not on thier site anymore.

Smartech is owned by the father and nutech is owned by the son. Smartech was the original clone factory that started all of clones.

The truck is the same as the Smartech Titan. I had a Smartech Thunderbolt for a little bit. Some nice features, decent driveline. The shocks are pretty nice too. I never ran the Thunderbolt cause I had some problems gettin the right parts (2nd hand car).

Those 28cc engines have a 3 bolt head.

I'll have to see if HK sells parts cheap. I'd like to get a set of those shocks.

Just looked on HK site. They got the Thunderbolt buggy for $417 in USA warehouse. Not too bad.

I think its great for the price, nice starter for someone who wants to get into the large scale without breaking the bank to bad.
