Model cars section, Rex X radio control 1/8th nitro buggy
The Rex-X 1/8th scale model car details and pictures.
The GV models Rex-X radio control 1/8th nitro buggy comes either ready to run or almost ready to run (requires radio installation and a few bits and pieces to assemble).
The car is built around a 3mm thick tough alloy plate chassis. To this is mounted double wishbone suspension all round with oil filled coil over shock absorbers.
Power is provided by a Force .21 cubic inch engine (about 3.5cc). This transfers it's power to the front and rear wheels via steel prop shafts and half shafts and three spur geared sealed diffs.
The car has adjustable front and rear brakes.

The Force .21 glowplug nitro engine is factory fitted to the buggy. Starting is accomplished by using the built in pull start. This engine starts and performs very well provided the glowplug is regularly replaced.
Longevity of the engine has yet to be proved, but so far so good.
The buggy comes with a sponge filter which needs oiling before use. The exhaust consists of a metal manifold which connects to a tuned mini pipe via a flexible joiner which helps save the engine from damage when the pipe gets clouted by something.

Fueling is quick and easy, just flip open the sprung cap on the tank and squirt in the nitro. The polycarbonate bodyshell on the buggy has a convienient hole to allow access while fitted to the car.
