DuraTrax Raze 1/8 buggy SPY SHOT!
I can't name the tipster who sent me this, but I can say that say that he (or she) is getting a big-time hookup from me for snapping this pic and ferreting out a few details. Expect SuperTigre .27 power and FM radio gear, and of course it'll be fully RTR. I tried to look between the front wheel spokes to see if it's a C-hub or pivot ball, but I got nuthin'.

What a dummy, I was zoomed in so tight that I didn't even look at the other wheel! Maybe I'll edit my post so I look smarter. Nah, too busy...

If they plan on making it race legal then it will have a single speed.

they obviously dont plan on making it race legal since it comes with a .27, at least not out of the box,

If anyone's gonna be racing this with the stock engine, it'll be in the RTR buggy class, or novice class...and they won't care that the engine is a .27. Any race .21 will blow the doors off of it, so the non-novice guys won't care, and other novice buggies will have big engines too. Ofna RTR's either come with a Force .26 or .28 depending on the model, with the exception of they Hyper series RTR's. I think the Hot Bodies' buggy comes with a .26. The Kyosho RTR comes with a .28. The XTM comes with a .247. Etc.

No, most likely, just imported with their name on it. They may spec a few things for it.

I doubt it. The Warhead is their vehicle I believe. Their micro line is imported, but the Evader series is theirs (ish...adapted from the XX series), and their older stuff was theirs I believe. Hopefully this is better than the Warhead, which so far has been a disappointment. Oh...and please Duratrax...find a different engine for the buggy. That engine so does not have a buggy powerband.
