Looks good. I used to be into these many years ago and they are awesome fun.

Mate had a farm so we made a course in the front paddock with the front end loader. mad jumps, though sometimes cars would lands upside down.
Got any videos?

I had both electric and nitro buggies and although the nitro is more fun, I found the electric was much more enjoyable to drive in the street as it is difficult to hear cars approaching with a 2 stroke winding out. The neighbours probably liked the electric one better too.

With LiPO batteries now, electric buggies must have much better run times than the old ni-cad stick pack days.

I use a GV Cage its nitro an i find that with the red fuel it is more reliable then the green fuel, no idea why i find that i have to tune it less. Personally tho i am now more into 2 stroke an lipo, 2 stroke in the off roaders an lipo for the on roads.
Run times vary between lipo an nitro depending on driving style. According to my transmitter i get roughly 20min with nitro and lipo an with 2 stroke i get about 35min average.

Too many
They're a very good car, really durable and fairly easy to get parts for. I have 8 rc cars and I plane for reference lol.
