So you guys seem pretty confident with the sportwerks buggie then for a good bang for the buck.

Yeah some of the parts will work from my MT but not all of it.
I think the difference is the suspension between the two. The rest looks the same.

Okay so this buggie has been around the block and from the sounds of it---this has none of the problems like I have had with my ST then outside of the typical small stuff.
That is what is steering me away from their buggie.

Jammin would be a good choice if you plan on selling it after 2 gallons. It will be worn by then most likely.

Mayhem will last longer and will be just as raceable


Having fun again!!!!

I just talked to Horizon and they are sending me out new axles--again.
They also suggested that I upgrade the flywheel and clutch bell to vented.
At this point the clutch bell is not available just yet.

As for the Axles snapping---problem is that it is the same as it is for the buggie but being on the ST using a much larger wheel looks to be that it cannot support them all that well.

They did tell me that INTEGY is suppose to come out with aftermarket hopups for the Mayhem line like better CVD's, axles and such in titanium. There is another one or two companies that will be making stuff for them as well.

So I dunno if some of you knew this or not or how really true this info is but take it for what it is worth. I just hope that after the ST being released they will come out with a PRO version with the updated hopups for it installed like assaciated does with the NTC3.

So in all it looks like I may end up with another Mayhem but the buggie. Parts are swapable if I need it in a pinch but not all parts.
It also appears to be the best bang for the buck really. Now if I can just get past my ST breaking down all the time I will be fine.

I personally don't support Integy. Many reasons why, main one is they let American companies spend time and money on R&D, then just directly copy all they're hard work and pay .10cents an hour labor to Chinese folks.

Thiefs is what they are. I cannot support companies like them. Let's keep the money in america if possible.

If they are the only company to offer a hopup for a certain RC I could see buying from them, otherwise let's pay the people who actually designed the part and pay their workers well.

This is just my opinion on Integy


Having fun again!!!!

I'm not a big fan of vented CB's. Dirt and fuel can get in there and cause all kinds of havoc on the shoes.

I second that although in the past I haven't had a problem with the vented CB's I've used. Maybe it was because I was using AL shoes?
