Default New Stinger EB-1 Electric Buggy?

Anyone seen these? Look like another good way to get people into the sport, rather Fugly though - Looks REALLY tall.

Yeah, saw it in the CML advert in one of the mags a few weeks ago, you're absolutely right, it IS a pig ugly thing and I know that shouldn't matter but I think it probably will. It makes the Ansmann Madrat look like a thing of pure beauty. And it does look silly tall which then makes it appear even more toy-like.

definitely got hit with the fugly stick. But as Nick says, if it's cheap and strong it is good for the hobby.

Well they claim it's a funky pre-printed bodyshell, perhaps they just mispelt Fugly!
It's interesting to see a few new cheaper RTR entering the market, hopefully it will get more people interested in the hobby

I think, RTR's that have a racing brother are good for the hobby, RTR's that are just that, do nothing for the hobby, as they are bought, taken to the club, and realise that they got to go out and buy all new stuff again.

As for that car, it's deseing, in circa TRX1 mid 90's lol
