Ran my sons buggy in rear motor configuration last week to break in the diff, wow very impressed with the handling.. I used the tires that came with it on indoor clay which I would never use it on, but it performed awesome..

where did you put weight? Looks like only shorty batteries will work in mid motor. But it looks very tight to put enough weight in it.

I have 2 days of track time on my Cactus thus far and I am very impressed. The first day I was ill prepared with tires but last night on my home track...WOW. Mid motor on medium bite dirt (not clay) and a few minor setup changes and it was strapped. I was about 1 second off the pace of the A main winner from last week on a fully prepped track. I can't wait for race day!

I was wondering what other brands of wheels, shock springs and pistons will work with this buggy?

It seems like a pretty good value and it would be nice being able to go back and forth from MM to RM due to the fact that I race on a variety of terrain.

Thanks for any feedback.

I think people use team associated wheels & Losi springs for the most part!

Durability is excellent. Performance has been outstanding. Being one of the few (prolly only) person in my area to run one all set-ups have been a "shot in the dark." Mostly with good results though.

Great buggy for the price!! The only thing so far is when the steering is at full lock, the wheel rubs on the rod end.. I might add a 1-2mm wheel spacer shim.

Really? I have not had this problem. "Bindy" front arms but no ball cup rubbing.

I have sanded some of the area away on the ball end but not enough.. Don't want to make it too thin. That's the reason for the wheel spacers!! It does affect the steering, great initial turn in, until you cranck the steering at those tight 180's.. Almost like front brakes.. lol This should be addressed by 3racing!!

I agree! I have considered dremeling of a little out of the wheels or ball ends.
