looks like a jammin....

[slaytanic]

Why would they flip the steering servo like that? I wouldn't think it change weight distribution much and would seem to make it harder to work on! I like the captured pins though.

Sweet, I love dog bones

[chickenfarmer3]

looks good. MOOOOOOOOOOOO!. LOL

[cemeb4dk]

SInce Odonnel is owned by Duratrax, does this make it a duratrax buggy

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Isn't one of those fuel filters backwards?

[mikeh]

It'll look great next to my Tower Hobbies ST-15!

[Evil3]

I like that it will have 2 fuel filters, but I still haven’t seen much on how good it's racing performance is.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Fuel filters are nothing but problems in most cases. I can only imagine what 2 of them could do to tuning. (And Dave I think the actual filter element inside can be flipped to work either direction. If not on those then one is backwards....)

[Procharged5.0]

Looks impressive!

SInce Odonnel is owned by Duratrax, does this make it a duratrax buggy

Since Cadillac is owned by GM, does that make a Coupe DeVille a Corvette?

[joey]

i wish they would use a massaged version of the northstar engines in corvettes though alum block 32 valve ohc v8 would be pretty cool in a vette i thinks lol

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I think Cadillac would do better just to borrow the Z06 motor....

LS7 V8 Engine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside every Z06 is an LS7 aluminum-block V8. It puts out an SAE-certified (Society of Automotive Engineers) 505 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Hand-built at the GM Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich., the LS7 engine contains a litany of racing-derived components, such as an eight-quart dry-sump lubrication system, titanium valves and connecting rods, forged-steel crankshaft with six-bolt main bearings, high-profile cam, and Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machined heads for better air/fuel flow. Even with its performance, the engine does not incur a federal government gas-guzzler penalty.

that servo would irritate me to all ends... i like to check mine for tightness every round...cant do it like that w/o taking the whole tray out.

looks like a nice car.... nothing over the top tho.

Dan fuel filters dont make tuning difficult wtf are you talking about.

It looks cool, another back to the basics buggy with some tweaks, Alot of the alum stuff looks hard ano'd

[snakebite46]

+1 on the fuel filter comment. No problems tuning with dual filters on my end.

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

odonnell is not owned by duratrax.

hobbico or great planes as it is known purchased the recipe and name for odonnell fuel after many years of distributing the fuel, which in turn allowed steve odonnell enough free time to design an 1/8 buggy. while it is true that the car will be marketed through great planes it was not designed by hobbico.
i think the car looks reall good and i believe when i get mine i am going to run 3 or 4 fuel filters. we all truly see what happens when you revolutionize the 1/8 scale, the s3 was the first car to do what everyone wanted to see and made a wicked ass chassis that proved in the real world to not work as good as hoped. look at the popularity difference between the mbx5 and the x5r. it the R has a few refinements but is basically the same car. there is a plan for 1/8 scales and if anyone thinks someone is gonna come out with something totally mind numbing and new I think there crazy. all cars a kyosho copy when you get down to it. just my rant

[C.Crosley]
