Duratrax 835B Nitro Buggy

So I finally got my new nitro buggy yesterday, its a Duratrax 835B Nitro Buggy, it has very good features, lots of metal parts and a .27 engine. Today I took it out and did the 5 tank break in, having trouble finding a good battery for my glow starter my hands got blisters from the pullstart. But anyways I finally got through and did the 5 tanks. I ran 2 more today and tuned my buggy up, perfectly! I took the time and did a very good tune on it, runs very smooth and well. Nothing has broke on it yet, but sometime this weekend I'm going to take it to the track. One thing about nitro's is that the side where the exhaust comes out gets super dirty, so look like I got some cleaning to do, but overall I'm happy with this buggy, I love the long run time and how fast it goes.

So, here is my review on this thing, I find this very good and lots of fun, the price is good for what you get, but why you ask, well heres why. There are many brands out there that are cheaper and have better engines, but they are cheaper construction, with Duratrax you don't get a racing engine, but you do get lots of aluminium stuff and you get very far with RTR out of the box. The competitors have less that comes with their buggys and they don't have the hard parts, as well as they don't have a awesome warranty to cover it. Duratrax also has very good service, customer support has been very helpful and nice. This buggy is a good you may not have the engine to race with, but for everyday fun it works great, and you can always upgrade the engine, where as the other ones you have to upgrade many of the chassis parts and such. Very good quality buggy and you get good value for your money. I have plans on upgrading this buggy and hopefully start a build thread on it.
