Glad I could help and thank you for watching... :)

I really enjoy watching your videos, even if you are under the weather!

like it...looks very well build, a quality and beautiful buggy!!! like the velcro secure points on the body.....looking forward for the run videos!!!

Thanks Manos. Yeah, I'm looking forward to running it also. But the weather has really turned and doesn't look good for some time...

Thanks. It's not a bad looking buggy. Duratrax did an excellent job with the styling and features.

Good unboxing, I like the close ups you did as you were talking. Cool buggy, has some nice features. Thanks!

Thanks buddy. Yeah, I did see Rich's one as well and it seems to go pretty well. Hanging out to try mine out. Bloody weather is just crap at the moment. :(

Thanks Mark. Looks like a nice buggy. Can't wait to try it out. :)

This will be the first 1/8 buggy and I thank you for helping me decide and chose the way I will get

Haha. Thanks for that. Really appreciate the support. :)

Thanks man. Yeah, looking forward to running this thing. Doesn't look too bad...

Thanks buddy. Yeah, can't wait to test it out...

Yep, I would say so. It's plenty fast, handles well, part support is great and it's pretty tough as well. For the price, you can't go wrong. Cheers :)

Sweet. Yeah, I never pay full price either because I use coupons as well, but I always quote the listed price. Cheers

Thank you. You will love it...

Sick but cranking out videos-- that's dedication!! Nice buggy- seems very reasonable. The flame design looks great. The chassis looks on par with other buggies. Another good first look-- can't wait till the run. Could be a good deal for my kid. Get well.

Haha, I know, it's not ready. I'm so disappointed. I was really hoping to have it in this video, but I couldn't wait until next week to post this up. It's a new RC and it needed to be shown. I have another RC coming and should be here by next week, so the intro might be ready by then. But the old intro is dead and I no longer want to use it.

I have only driven the 835E once and I already like it better than the Buggy8. It's much faster, handles better, has better tyres, is water resistant and seems to be more durable. Also, it's easier to change batteries on the 835E than on the Buggy8 - not a big deal to some people, but it is to me. Thanks

Good first look bud. It will be interesting to see how this buggy holds up.

I have only bought the same ones for now. Haven't decided if or when I'll buy upgrades nor do I know what others will fit. I will do some more research on it though.

Thanks mudguy. :) The show must go on (as they say).

Nice unboxing mate, rich's seems to be holding up well :) i think he tested it on the associated test track, which was cool. Looking forward to the next vid :)

very nice lookin buggy! been eyein the nitro for awhile now, glad they came out with the electric

I know. I wanna run it too, but we're in the middle of winter and the weather has been crap. Not much I can do about that, buddy. Sorry. The next few days are looking promising, so I might get lucky and get a running vid out for you all to see. :)

Looking forward to the review!

You made me want this buggy....and it's 350$ with coupon

Love that color , I had my eye on the nitro version, but of course I'm not a nitro guy so maybe one of these will be in the family later on. Hope you start feeling 100% soon, great id though buddy.

Yes, you can. I believe the ESC is rated from 2S to 4S, so you should be fine. :)

cool unboxing and nice car!

Lucky you! Wish I had an indoor track nearby... Wish I had track nearby - period! I have to drive for ages to get anywhere near an RC track, hate to think how far I'd have to drive to get to an indoor one... :(

Hmm, I don't remember recommending a Serpent. I've never owned one. But as slideshow1177 has mentioned, the RC8.2 will be great option. Parts should be available across most hobby shops if you don't want to buy online. As for your comment about me buying cars from overseas; I buy cars that I think people are interested in. The world is quite small these days and where I buy them from is of no bother to me. As long as I can get parts support and I can afford them, I'll buy them from anywhere. :)

We are pretty lucky here, there are about 10 tracks within an hour of each other. Sorry to rub it in :)

Hope you guys enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and have fun out there. :)

Yes, I have. I used to have a nitro many years ago and hated every minute of it. One side of me swore never to touch those nightmares again, but another side of me wants to give it another go. If I do decide to get an RC other than electric, I would be more inclined to go petrol - not nitro! Thanks

Tell me about it, this year has been terrible for me, too much crap weather, too much work, heaps of new equip, but no time to use it :( so keen to shoot a heap of running vids at various tracks. My local shop has a new indoor track being built at the moment so the weather wont stop me :)

Nice video!

Yes, this buggy is worth getting. There are already plenty of spares out there already as it is based off the Nitro version, which has been around for a while now. Plus, you have the Duratrax "Stress Tech" warranty in case things go wrong out on the track. But for $400 you can't go wrong. However, if you can spend a little more, go for the Team Associated RC8.2e. It's a better platform and there are tuns of spares available for it. Hope that helps. :)

Thanks you have been a big help

I finally got one and I got the same color as you because it was the only color I wanted the blue too but I love this buggy

If you've got a motor/esc combo ready to go, just grab an Associated RC8.2e kit and build it from scratch. You'll end up with a much better car that you can also race.

Yes !i hope you will make durability montage

I love your vids !! Keep it up :)

Thank you very much. :)

Would this be better than an ofna ultra lx2e for a first 1/8 buggy please answer fast thanks again

Yeah, I know right. Don't know why so many RC's out there come without tool kits, or even just an Alan key... Still, it doesn't look like a bad car...

Thanks buddy. :)

Can I run this on 3s and it still get around well

Thank you. :)

Which one you like more the Ofna Buggy8 or this one? also why since you have both of them. thanks

Would you recommend this rc car and is it good on spare parts ? If not could you possibly help guide me in the right direction

very very nice. i want one

Interesting fact... At least now I know what Transmitter I'll get when I buy my Axial... Oops, did I say that out loud?

Haha. Lets hope it holds up. :)

I can't say, I'm sorry, I don't have the LX2e. But my experience with the Ofna Buggy8 was pretty poor, mainly because of the motor. If you do decide to buy the LX2e, I would buy the roller and not the RTR. I have heard some good feed back on the LX2e, so maybe it's just a better buggy than the Buggy8. Thanks

I've already answered this question. Yes, you can

Would it be a good first 1/8 buggy to begin with

Can you run this on 3s?

The layout looks awfully similar to the Ofna Lx2e, just less aluminum XD

Vas, do you still have this buggy and do you find time to run it(or any of your older RC's)? I'm curious about long term durability, and not just crash damage. how does the driveline hold up?

Where was the intro?

This one is US$399 from Tower Hobbies. Thanks

Hey Aussie, would you still recommend this ? Keep up the good work!

What is the price

I saw your vid of the Ofna buggy8e and asked you if theyre in OZ. You told me not to bother and to get the serpent rtr. I love the look of this too. I take is this is not an Aussie car? You seem to buy american cars alot do you h ave to get most parts in U.S? Im still trying to choose an 8th scale, The serpent looked great but cant fit a big motor. Im wanting to run 6s and have a motor esc upgrade already. (Tekin Gen 2 RX8 and 1700kv t8 which is 42 x 76mm (Same size as Mamba). Hard to choose.

Go to Tower Hobbies and it will tell you there. If you have discount codes, make sure you enter those in. Cheers

ill be getting a slash platinum some time soon partly because of your recommendation :D

Great car looks tough. Have you ever thought about a nitro car?

No tool kit? Seems like a decent car.

heh. awesome

Congrads on the new RC, good luck. BTW how much is TH shipping to Australia?

what would be the difference in one 3s and one 4s i have to save my money for a 4s what do you think of the hobby king's 4s lipo batteries are they any good

Were did you get it again ??? :P

same transmitter that axial uses

Can you recommend me a rc truck under $350 Thanks

running vid;!!!

how much is this

Did you say alumium?

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Thank you :)
