^^thats my pic^^ looks like a good buggy IMO

Rc8 - pwnzor - 01-31-2007

it looks alright I guess, not too sure about the carbon ackerman and shock towers, it looks kinda toyish tbh, but im sure it will be very competitive Wink

Rc8 - Ponch - 01-31-2007

Well they were right when they said they weren't coming out with anything new...

Rc8 - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-31-2007

that is a damn fine looking buggy i cant wait now!!!

Rc8 - UE-Maxx - 01-31-2007

Rc8 - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-31-2007

It's only going to be used when it's getting lapped by Losi's. :p:

Rc8 - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-31-2007

good luck with that.

I think theres alotta good right there. I think the wing setup is totally gay, wish they would just leave the pegs and be done with it. Body blows dog balls too, but im sure with Jason ruona being an AE factory team driver a Jconcepts bod will be out shortly. The shocks are bad ass, 4mm shafts and threaded (even though im not a big fan of the threaded shock bodies just yet) Looks like they kept the TTR throttle linkage and brake setup with both brake levers on top which is nice to see. Tons of droop as well. Cant tell too much from the pics about the tank. The airfilter is nice although ill prolly stick with the PL one. Front bumper looks funky as hell but hey if it works i guess. Hopefully the battery box is big enough for a hump pack....

i heard they have named it the mikey guard Big Grin

Looking at the wing, you can change the angle of it by adjusting the lower aluminum support.

POS

hahahahahah j/p

Rc8 - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-31-2007

all buggies hace that for the most part i dunno about losi. I just dont like the idea of 4 M3 screws holding in a wing that needs to support a 7lb car off a 30 ft jump lol

Rc8 - UE-Maxx - 01-31-2007

I couldn't tell you if the 8ight has it or not without taking a look at it, but I know mugen has it on the pieces that attach to the wing.

Rc8 - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-31-2007

as does kyosho jammin ttr etc

Rc8 - AddictedtoNITRO - 01-31-2007

9other than the body I like the looks of it. Too bad it'll cost an arm and a leg

Rc8 - rocco79 - 01-31-2007

Looks ok

Rc8 - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-31-2007

i doubt it, AE stuff has always been affordable

Rc8 - Tex - 01-31-2007

Looks pretty good to me...... can't wait to check one out up close and in person, better yet see it on the track
