Love the S1V4 buggy

Post by BigBill »

We have a 21.5 spec class starting up at our local race club. I set this kit up using the stable setup for this season just to learn since this is my first year racing and first 1/10th buggy I've ever had. I threw on some Pro-line Hexon rears and Wedge fronts for carpet racing, pro-tek 100T servo and a Hobbywing 21.5 motor with a Hobbywing esc.

Took 1st in heat one, 2nd in heat two, and messed up in the main and took 4th. Not bad for my first day of driving this. No issues at all except I cracked the front bumper thing. This buggy handled beautifully and was very responsive.

Nice! I like the simple paint. Wish I had the patients to do more than one color on my stuff.

I was getting harassed at the track that I only had black paint as two other rc's are pure black. Lol. I tried something different. Buggy body's are not easy to mask! Haha. I might try something more extreme for next season...

I haven't found one specifically made for it yet, however, the Shuey LD2 bodies seem to fit, as do some of the B6.4 bodies, with a little trimming.
