1 / 2
Our Verdict
One of the best 1/8 buggies for the money. Low center of gravity means it handles way better than any monster truck in its class, and 60 mph on 6S is no joke. Corners like it's on rails.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Low CG makes it noticeably more stable at speed than trucks
- +60 mph with handling to match
- +Lighter than comparable monster trucks at 8.49 lbs
- +4WD drivetrain with solid differentials
- +Shares parts with the Typhon 3S for cheap spares
Cons
- -Buggy body is a dirt magnet
- -Ground clearance is only 1.57 inches, so it catches on rough stuff
- -6S LiPo batteries are pricey
- -Wing snaps on hard landings
- -Not as visually imposing as a monster truck
