Our Verdict
Best budget 4WD buggy you can get. It's the 6S Typhon's little brother, running on affordable 3S batteries and still hitting 50 mph. Handles better than any monster truck at this price thanks to the low buggy profile. You'll outgrow the 3S power, but it's a fantastic starting point.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Best-value 4WD buggy in its class
- +50 mph on affordable 3S batteries

Cons
- -3S power ceiling, you'll outgrow it
- -1.18 inches of ground clearance catches on everything
- -Buggy body collects debris
