No i have not had one but i know people who have run them as a sponsored driver and there was very little positive feedback.

Its not about names of cars or pedigrees, did Atomic carbon have a pedigree? No but they produce quality products hence people support them and like there cars.

i do agree with you there aswell lee... but i think my points valid

Its just beacuse Academy dont have the drivers to promote the car, hence why the likes of Associated and Losi have a better name, therefore people say they are there better cars.

Its the same for Touring cars which i do regulaly, Andy Moore goes and wins the worlds with the HB Cyclone, and then suddenly its the best car out there, and therfore has this so called "pedigree", sorry thats just the wrong way of looking at things.

Anyway just my 2cents

Back to what this thread is for



Anyone interested on a great buggy with good spares support, which would get you winning at your local track.

Edit: LEE, sorry but have you had one? I bet you havent, your probably another Associated or Losi Owner or Whatever, if you dont want it, thats fair enough, dont go on about how Shit it is, beacuse its not, far from it, what can you get for the money? nothing hardley, a standered kyosho lazer zx-5 which is basically all plastic crap. WOOPIE.

Try to watch you language when im around

i agree with ben.. watch your language man

[Steveonamission]

Ok, next time any of youse try to sell something, do you want me to go on about how lame your item is for sale (watched language there)

Its quite simple, if you havent got anything better to say, then dont say it at all, i dont mind a bit of friendly advise like welshey40 said, but this is ridiculous now.

I know someone will have it, and appreciate it as a great buggy, the same as i do.

[Steveonamission]

£130 now.

Also have a LRP VECTOR 6.5 brushless motor if interested aswell.

Im looking at the options that you have on the car, its a really well thought out chassis and various other things. Heck you can move the cells all over the place which is gr8. If you were a starter or an intermediate this car would do the world of good, and these have won regional events so they are not that bad in the right hands either, but point taken.

Could you please name the extra features that makes this a world beater or is it only belt drive cars that are quicker than it?

And i doubt ill change my mind

Ttech are worse, mine went in the bin, and that says a lot. Chassis and cell positioning, it has more options than the rest out there. Ok the build quality is slightly better than tamiya and may not be as sturdy as the rest and I am not arguing that, but the spares cost pennies and thats what is gr8 about the car, it doesnt cost too much to maintain as they spares are so cheap. I am not saying its a world beater far from it but its value for money and you cant arue that at all.

They also did have some decent drivers driving for them, but I guess as you rightly say they are all driving the HB or Associated cars now. If I had the money I would buy it.

[DCM]

Steve, I guess my point would be, that even new, the car isn't worth an aweful lot, second hand even less, we all like to think that our cars are worth more than they are but they aren't. Even though, with the options I got on my DB-01, it owes me £150 max (less I think) but realisticaly, I would only be able to sell it for £100, £110 if I was lucky.

If you want to sell it, you need to drop your price, as most on here know ex Acedemy team drivers, and have had experience. If you can't see yourself taking less, stick it in the cupboard.
