One word...Huh.?

Oh yeah caps off. you are posting as if you were yelling.

What is the name of the kit exactly?

Is this the one you're looking at?

Smartech Winner Sport 1/10th scale buggy

There's only a couple of 1/10th scale buggies, Kyosho has one, and in my opinion I would look into either the Kyosho 1/10th buggy, or a full blown 1/8th. There are several 1/8ths that are ready to run and a re very good quality (moreso than the Smartech one). Check out the Hot Bodies Lightning or the Ofna Hyper 7s. I don't know if replacement parts are easy to find for the Smartech, but that is a very big factor when you get into r/c stuff. Best thing to do is check the parts at the local hobby shop and see what is readily available for what kit, then make a decision based on that.

Hope that helps, and welcome to the hobby and RCNT.

EDIT-- just reread your post, I see that you already got one. Let us know how it holds up. I don't think anyone else here has one of those.

Yea, I'm curious about the thing too. 1/10th scale buggies are quite a bit smaller then 1/8th ones, it could be a good buggy for playing around and having fun, assuming it doesn't fall apart on you.

A friend and I used to have Inferno TR-15 1/10th buggys. They was pretty fragile and prone to mechanical failure, so our fun was cut short just about everytime to be honest. Hence buying a 1/8th buggy, haven't looked back. You gets what you pay for!! It is more expensive initially, but to be honest I'm sure it's cheaper in the longrun.

2 speed tranny in a 1/10 does not seem like that will hold up well. i hope it works out for you. i would personnaly sell it on ebay and then buy a 1/8 they are alot of fun.

and i have never heard of that brand. i can't say a whole lot about your choice though because i actually have a duratrax model which most guys on here hate
