VRX-2E 1/8 scale electric buggy RC

This is an in depth view of another Remote controlled Hobby grade I recently acquired from an online shopping site, that is not actually available here in my country.

This is VRX-2E, an electric version of VRX 2 nitro RC made by riverhobby. Electric hobby grade RC is in bloom now following the Nitro engines apparently degrading hobbyist preference over those electric ones, probably because of maintenance issue and or fuel availability on some cases. Electric uses batteries of lipoly type to where just charge it, put on the RC and have some fun without calibrating engine like nitro type.

For an in depth view, here is the video I made for all of those who seeks affordable 1/8 size scale buggy.

As I been using this for some time now, it has great traction, the car steers efficiently, and on course it performs well, I am wanting to make this buggy a competitor, Just buying time to entry it when i find one here in my country that will compete with those expensive ones, like Kyosho, TA, redcat, mugen, etc etc.

After all, RC races does not depend only on the brand alone. A good driver will make any alternatives as good as they have. :)
