Hot Bodies Deal

Hey guys I went into the hobby shop a few days ago and i saw a buggy hanging on a shelf and next to it was a bag with the manual and a truck load of spare parts then i saw the price tag $200.00 i was like sweet there is no engine or servos or reciver but then i flipped it over and it had a new price sticker on it saying 150 so im probably gonna buy it.

find out which one it is. if it's a lightning then that's way to much for a roller. imo. if it's a D8 then do it to it. The D8 was on my list of buggies to look at, but lost because of pretty good deal that I found.

If you plan on racing it . . . . never underestimate the advantages of running a popular vehicle from your local track, for the specific setup help and trackside spares. I think you will really like the 1/8 buggies

i definatly plan on racing it lol an to boot it band new

then it's a d8, and that's a fair price. + on the liking the buggies.

and the tires arnt half bad shape like its obviously has a few runs on it a few scrapes across the bottom but hell its straight as an arrow and the tires have, id say 10 runs on them

I did a little more reaserch and reality is setting in.... It's five years old it needs new bearings and the hobby shop is offering me a deal on a brand new 1/8 caster buggy $450 and some can be on credit so I'll be able to race in the first race day!!!

thats sucks, kudos for doing the research though. is that 450 for an rtr caster? I don't know much about them if it is.

Yea 450$ for a caster buggy and it's 90% comparable with a mugan

is that the buggy that most of the guys are running up there?

The caster buggy no my hobby shop is the only shop in Canada allowed to sell caster items mainly run at the track is mugan and hot bodies and team associated

there is a sweet deal on tower hobbies now for the Team Associated RC8 rs rtr. 505 with easy pay option, and a coupon code for 30 bucks off

True

$450.00 is high for the Caster buggy make sure its the 1.5R verison Caster had 3 buggys and the 1.5R is the best one. The others have issues and are no longer in production. As for parts if your LHS dont carry a large inventory you will have to order on the web but Mike the owner of Caster USA has a good supply of parts and other needed stuff. Checkout www.casterusa.com or www.holeshothobbies.com for the best deal on a caster. As for Hot Bodies the D8 is a fine piece of equipment and will handle very well. 200.00 for a D8 roller is a fair price if it had low run time. These buggys have few issues and are very racer friendly. www.stommerhobbies.com had a new kit for around $285.00 or so new may be the way to go.

The caster buggy is yet to be ordered so it has to still be in production... LHS has an 8'x14' wall of caster parts lol
