sportwerks chaos - thenewguy jr - 07-04-2006
well i bought one yesterday, and had my dad break it in with me doing some if the work.while breaking it in, we heard a ratteling noise, and had no clue where it was coming from. my dad let the motor shut down, and looked at it, and found thet the flywheel and clutch should be shimed when you get it. bu being the first batch of chaos' you wouldnt expect it to be flawless. the .05 engine's carb is a one needle setup, and the motor-mount screws are philips head. when my dad was taking out the motor to shim it, 3 screws came out no problen while one striped. all in all, i find it to be a pretty good little buggy. it cost me only $322.88 for the rtr, 20% nitro, rechargable glow igntor, and a fuel bottle. overall, i give the sportwerks chaos a 5/10.
EDIT: THE CHAOS IS GOING BACK.
edit: i will have pics posted later

Was that you at the LH with that yesterday? That thing was cute and fast. I just don't see it catching on for racing in this area when we have an indoor track the size of LH for winter racing.

Guy I work with has one. Pretty neat little buggy. The only thing I didnt like about it is the wobble from the CB. Would have been nice if they used regular type bearings instead of needle bearings.

There was a little play in the flywheel, and a little wobble in the CB. I put a shim behind the cranckshaft collet, and one between the flywheel nut and CB. This seemed to help quite a bit.
The only other problem I see with it, is because of the size, a regular Rx pack will not fit and the battery holder is for AAA's. The runtime is brought down quite a bit. The included radio seems kinda cheap also.
Other than that, it seems like a pretty decent little Buggy.
