Did you already upgrade the motor or are you still running the stock setup?

This looks a very fun buggy to hit the beach with Alex!! It should go well on the wet sand for sure and look ace!! it would need better tyres on the back for the dry sand though! but a cool fun looking buggy from kyosho and nice and cheap too!! I like it!!

@TheOtherRacingGreen,45 minutes. It sure is very easy to build if you take your time. I always build very fast ,did really take my time with this one Cheers,Alex

Great car! Thanks for sharing your experiences and photos. I would like to know the length of the oil shocks you've used. If you like, feel free to join the Sandmaster thread on the forums: [Click here] Cheers.

@TheOtherRacingGreen,I sure recomend other oil filled shocks. The stock shocks cant be filled with oil ,just friction adjustmend at the spring. Makes the buggy very bouncy,like a grasshopper Cheers,Alex

which hop ups do you recommend. can the provided shocks be filled with oil or do i have to add new dampers?

Fernado Alonso  29/07/2012 12:47:38
@hammerstien,first I will run it stock but with 2s lipo it sure is pretty fast. I will take a 10 turns brushless on holiday next week. If it runs good on the stock motor I leave it that way,but maybe the brushless setup temped me to install it Cheers,Alex
