kyosho has been #1 in the 1/8th scale buggy championships
for alot of years.So to say the swift is better seeing it came onto the market 5-6 weeks ago,is kinda tough.
The swift has the ability to be as fast and as competitive as the k2
kyosho at a much cheaper price.
the kyosho is over twice the price as the swift and most the parts are twice the price.So keep that in mind.

With the cheaper price of the swift it is available for the racer to set up for alot less money than the k-2.
cheaper means more people can hop into the 1/8th scale racing world for alot less than other buggies..

I love my swift buggy!

its new on the market and the companys parts are cheap
and they are very nice to deal with!!
There are alot of positive things about it!
its kinda looks like a mugen mbx5 in alot of ways
but most buggies have alot in common

there always will be people who say good and bad about all the brands so keep that in mind
also buy a R/C you can get parts for cause they all break
hope this helps!!
RACE ON!!

swift

I love my swift too. But there are some improvements that PRP should work on because it's not as durable as Kyosho. But it's the best bang for the buck, and yes it's fast!

Here my .02 cents worth.

EVEN IF THE SWIFT IS AN RTR, TREAT IT LIKE A KIT. DON'T GET LAZY LIKE ME WHO JUST WANT TO RUN IT ALL THE TIME. DISASSEMBLE AND REASSEMBLE TRANSMISSIONS, DIFFERENTIALS, CVJ'S AND PUT THE PROPER LUBE AND LOCK TITE'S WHERE APPLICABLE.. THAT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF FRUSTRATION AND TIME FIXING AS THEY ALL FALL APART.
