1/8 Werewolf buggy electric

[Cain]

what do you guys know about this buggy?









I know its not the top of the shelf stuff, but I am curious how they have been working out from what people have seen.

I posted a similar question about another rtr 1/8.
the guys with experience advised to convert a nitro and spend a little more on lipo and motor esc combo.

they are pretty good actually. cheap way to race 8th. electrics are ok buggys tough and races well . its at the cheaper end of things but still a lot lot better than people might think. just cos its not got a certain brand name doesnt mean its pants. and it has spares backup . i like em

been doing the 1/8 electric thing for awhile, may have been one of the first in my state to have one for racing.

From what I can tell, if the quality and setup of the vehicle is sound, doesn't really matter if its a name brand one or not. name brand stuff can be junk too. Just ask anyone who has the unfortunate experience here to own a losi strike.

price here in the USA looks to be $250 shipped.

Anyone know how the quality of the plastics are?

ive had a couple of these and they are not half bad for the price, plastics are good, system is reliable only a 3 cell esc (novatech)but not as down on power as you may think, provides good useable speed and keeps up with all the others at the track. front shock tower is a bit to thin so fit the nitro buggy version which is sturdier.
Change the shock piston nuts for 2.5mm stainless ones as the stock plastic ones will come off.
servo's and 2.4ghz has been faultless. Ok so its no losi but its less than half the price and its not half as bad, good little buggy

Can you answer a few questions then since you had it?

- Do you get the hardware to do the mechanical brakes or do you have to buy that seperately?
- what model # is the "Pro"
- what size lipo can you fit length and width wise?

Thanks before hand for any info you can provide. if you visit rctech, wouldn't mind your insights on the buggy there in the offroad section.
