Protech Enigma XS ?

Hi Guys

I want to buy a Buggy, so after reading all the info i could find , i think i'm gonna buy a Kyosho Inferno MP 7.5 Sports RTR, but the HW store tells med they are out of stock for 3 weeks, but he got another buggy named Protech Enigma XS with better parts on only a bit more expensive... i can't seem to find any info on this car, not even on there website www.protech.be nothing.

Do anybody have any experience with this car ?

I hate to wait 3 weeks but don't wanna buy a Crap car..

Thanks in advance

Butch

I think the Inferno (in any model or trim package) is a very nice buggy. I will warn you, and advise you, to do a search on this site for info on the "sports". There are some known isues you will run into if you eventually want to upgrade your ride to the Kanai version.

That doesnt mean that the sports is a bad choice, but if "I" had to do it again I would but the 7.5 kit or even the Almost Ready t Run (you just have to install the electrics and engine) and NOT the sports. The kit has alot more of the hopups included that your probably going to want in the long run anyway.

I have never heard of a Protech.

Thanks for your input guys, My Inferno MP 7.5 Sports RTR will be delivered around the 4 nov.

I have read about the problems with hopup parts for the sports model, but becos of my budget the Sports RTR wins. i'm new in RC racing so hope it will do fine as a beginner car
