RE: need tips and help on running my first rc buggy
Welcome to the forum and since there is so much to learn the best advice I can give you is do all the reading you can in this forum and what ever you can find on the net. When you get it read the manual from cover to cover before starting it.
Good Luck and have fun.
What are you getting?

DO NOT make your first mistake and pay someone to put it together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will learn a whole lot more building it your self!!!!!!!!! In this hobby if you cannot work on it you will not be running it much either. Never heard of this vehicle do you have a link to it or something?

RE: need tips and help on running my first rc buggy
First question how easy is it going to be to get parts? This is a big concern!!!! I personally recommend any thing else that is name brand and easy to get parts for. I do not know anything about what you have pictures of but there is a lot of CHEAP copies out there! Some are OK and some are junk but few as good as good as the name brands.

Where are you going to get parts? It is some sort of Chinese knock off. I personally would not get one. All so do not take that top speed BS to heart!!!!!!!!

RE: need tips and help on running my first rc buggy
bull crap, one u cant get parts for it, it sucks that was my first rc car, and my first big mistake, no parts, its a literal piece of crap, go to [link]http://www.topspeedtoys.com[/link] or [link]http://www.redcatracing.com[/link] thats where i got my last two cars, the new one im getting is a tornado bb u should check it out, my other one i got from tower hobbies but its a way older model, trust me i thought that car was great as can be, that is untill i started doing research and couldnt find parts for it, everything broke everytime i drove it, i read(havent expierieced it) but the motors gave out after the first 5 minutes of running, mabye they forgot to break it in, i dono, i dont want u to make the same mistake i did by getting that piece of crap
