i like it, alot. any other pics?

[Pro3/nmt105]

Seems kinda pointless to me because this class dosnt exist...

[the_yawn]

The body looks kinda weird to me, like almost fat...

[crono man]

about time 2wd nitro buggy made a come back!!:)

[mpyacfo]

I get what you mean about there not being a class for this. I mean, it's a 1/10 2wd buggy with a .18 engine. Why? Why? Why?
I have to admit I like the body it looks cool. at tower hobbies i found it for $280 rtr.

[wanabedriver]

one question... why are there nitro evader truck and buggy, when duratrax already has the ST and BX (?) ? :confused: is the evaders suppost to be more, racey?

[mpyacfo]

The ST,MT,BX all suck. I guess if there is a mt pro and st pro there should be a bx pro too right???? I don't know duratrax is weird.... I think the mt, st, and bx are more entry level than the evaders.

[wanabedriver]

hmmm..... so is duratrax going to make electric STs, MTs, and BXs? that would be entry electric cars.... so are they going to make a racer version of the street force too? :p

[mpyacfo]

I don't think they can make the street force much better. 50 mph out of the box is good enough for me!

well, how good does it handle in the turns? i thought it wasnt too good, so thats one place they could in prove....
anyway, they could make a "street evader", electric street force. if they wana be real a$$, they could keep the street force, and make a "new" one called the "Nitro Street Evader". :rolleyes:

[jdm3849]

So what if 1/10 2wd nitro buggy class does not exist, 3/4 of the people in this hobby do not race. Thats just like saying backyard bashers should follow Roar,Ifmar, etc.. rules.


And you ask why they made this when they already had the Bx? Improvement! Thats like asking why associated released the B4 when the B3 was still selling! You can't just keep the same thing on the market and expect it to keep selling. Looks good to me, and on a well groomed backyard track that thing will rip.

[mpyacfo]

You can't just keep the same thing on the market and expect it to keep selling.
Yeah.... look at Traxxas. They kept the tmaxx and nitro rustler for ever. Especially their electric cars. We're talkin at least 3 years there......but I do agree with you. It's all good for me because it's just getting better and better. I mean come on, 1/5 scale cars with full calipers and disc brakes! Pretty hitec.

[jdm3849]

Your right about Traxxas, but look......They just came out with the 2.5 versions.
