Rattymatty Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 200 aint my max just thats what the kyosho was on modelsport for, I just want something that aint going to play up and something thats fun & fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCpete Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I run the DBX VE 2.0 which is the same thing except smaller wheels, arms and drive shafts, cause its the buggy version. The diffs are ok not great, the main problem i have are the drive shafts which are made of chocolate and will twist and bend just by running 3s. That said you have to run on 3s otherwise its too slow IMO. My buggy is very durable tho, it can take a good bash and the electrics hold up well to 3s.
