yeah he loves them lol, thats good to know about the parts as im sure he will smash it into everything haha. thanks

I think what you mean is you bought it for him to watch you drive it  and perhaps your let him pull the trigger every now and then or hold the remote  ..

[Deafty]

For what it's worth,.. 

 

imo: the new serpent e-truggy is without a doubt a very worthy, strong and reliable beast.

 

if u have a LS pro2 then sweet,. otherwise consider the above as cost wise it'll balance out cos it don't need upgrades.

 

Drove 1 on the weekend fyi   holy bleep it's planted.

They're made by outerwears but can't find anyone doing one for the trophy. This place has them for other buggies, they might be able to help:

Get the buggy! I have one and it has survived everything i have thrown at it, including bmx tracks and skate parks. The front hubs and the chassis anti bending braces are the only weak points, but can be upgraded. My mate has the truggy flux and it is weaker, it doesnt have 17ml hubs for starters (crazy for such a heavy car) and it uses the same steering servo as the buggy, which is fine for the buggy but not for the truggy. And the shocks are not up to the job on the truggy either, everyone gets big bores or doubles the original ones up.

 

Get the buggy!

main problem with truggy shocks is the plastic shock caps

[Stu iles]

Going to buy some more batteries for the truggy flux

What do peeps recommend and from where?

My mate broke a shock cap within 5 mins of him using it, luckily i had a spare for him.

The Lightning pro 2 comes with aluminium caps but they are very hard to find these days
