How raceable is this thing ? in terms of looks its surely far and away the best large scale buggy ever - it looks like a real buggy!!!!
is it legal for racing in the "large scale off road" classes ? anyone got one ?


Check out this video of it in action, it makes me want it and NEED it!

they do look dialled, maybe drop an email to Adam Skelding, he would know a fair bit about this, and most other HPI stuff.

I don't see why it would not be competitive against other 5th scalers, the other 5th scalers look very 'overweight' to me

have to say thats probably the best action rc video i have ever seen, need to hear the car engines a bit more, i must say though now i want one how good would that be at batley skateboard track lol.

Yea the music is a little overpowering isn't it good vid tho - makes you want one.
Cool how they have a camera strapped to a model helicopter for some shots too.

I dunno, I just don't get excited by it, it looks great and all, but doesn't look way as much fun as a race speced Truggy.

but - 40 minutes for a tank ! 40 mins!!! how cool is that, just fill er up and drive it till you can take no more.
