neil.b Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The one PBM are selling for 120 is the pro kit version, the ones on mb models are the rtr versions. the pro or R version is far superior spec/quality wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Get the One R (Pro version) - it's a great bit of kit. Long term I expect spares will be an issue, but everything's available now and if you so wish pbm will do you a deal on two. Only couple of niggles I've noted so far are 1: Build manual for the kit version ( On R) has the rtr part numbers printed during the build process (so I'm told, mine never made it out the box) and 2: the diff's run truggy ratio's, not buggy's - hence the 19t pinion the kit comes with.

neil.b Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Don't buy the RTR version, The kit is far superior. I briefly had an RB E One R, or as we christened it at the track, the "Boner". I bought one on impulse from PBM when I was in there about a month or two ago. I built it and ran it a couple of times and the quality/performance was very good. The only reason I sold it was that someone I know wanted one and it just wasn't getting used due to the fact my main race car (Mugen MBX7R Eco) takes priority. The quality of the components is very good, and the parts all fit together very well. The provided instructions are not the best due to the fact there are lots of hopup/extra pars included with the kit. This means that its not always clear which components to fit straight away although you can work it out pretty easily. The buggy handles/jumps very well although the box setup was a little on stiff side for the track conditions I was running it in, but the flip side of this is that it means its would be pretty good for bashing. I have seen the RTR up close and the kit version is a lot better. The RTR has much more of an air of "cheapness" about it and is technically inferior, from the cheapened shocks (which incidentally mount on the front of the rear shock tower/arm on the RTR version) to the dogbone drive train etc etc, its just worse.

Matt888 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 The link that has been put up for the RTR version looks like it has HPI Trophy buggy flux wheels on and that's the wheels I have for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it come as a bag of parts like a Tamiya kit? I'm so looking forward to getting it, building my Sand Scorcher was the best part of owning it.

Middle pic is BigOggy's (member here) - Esc is a wpcs8 and motor the Orion Race8 1950kv. Bottom pic is another friend of mines, I forget what he's put in it now, though the motor was def a trackstar and memory niggles that it was the matching GENII esc. Due to the diff's being ring cut, and the ratio, my thoughts would be to avoid a monster torque motor of higher kv - the rtr comes with a 2500kv iirc.
