Caster Racing have announced the upcoming release of their new 1/10th scale 4wd EP off road buggy. Using a competition RTR chassis design as a foundation, the SK-10 buggy has been given all the racing features that a competition car needs and can be upgraded further to a higher spec at a later time. This RTR features mini big bore shocks with 3.5mm shock shafts and a slipper clutch differential in the center, features that are normally only available in competition kits. Available soon.

Judging by the specs and general shape of the body, it looks shaft drive.

I wouldn't have thought so, with this being 1/10th scale. Most likely to be just a normal slipper mounted onto the back of the centre diff (but having a centre diff makes it unusual in itself :lol:).

Nice! The pro version looks proper hardcore with all that alloy, makes the rest of the competition seem a bit under-built!

Fantastic as it may look though, I wonder how it'll perform compared to all the plastic and CF chassis cars in the 1/10 class, as all that metalwork must weigh it down a bit, surely..?
