I'm an onroad driver for the past three years, indoor electric offroad just this past season and no 1/8 offroad experience. So I would say my offroad experience is very limited.
This buggy is awesome.....
If you need a deciding hand go to your track and see if one of your friends will let you drive it for a tank, 10 minutes will be all it takes for you to make up your mind. I put the stock setup on mine except 450cst shock oil in the rear and my car is great!
Everyone thinks there is a conspiracy about XRAY products, a few grams here a few grams there is what it takes to make this a super light buggy. What other manufacturer/ head of design goes out to the track with some of his top drivers to test with multiple prototype parts to see what is the best fit for the vehicle. Not just this buggy but in many other previous design cars. Hudy/XRAY want the very best buggy for the consumer out of the gate, which is what they have provided.
The option parts are there for the people that WANT all of the aluminum(BLING) parts on their cars. Aluminum is adding weight(slowing you down). A friend of mine (Onroad factory driver) said that at the events where Jurah is at if there are any failed XRAY parts he wants that part. So he can see why and how it failed, what other manufacturer would do such a thing! XRAY is the only way in my book.
I hate to put it like this but if you don't have one you should not get one if I'll be driving against you, because I feel that evey other buggy is inferior. Everybody that I knew at the 1st midwest RC pro race(TQ'd int. buggy, mains rained out) (2nd time I drove my car) that saw my buggy run knows what little offroad experience I have and said my buggy looked great and included that they are now in a dlilema to drop what they have and purchase one.
