Model cars section, Rex X radio control 1/8th nitro buggy page 2
The buggy has camber adjustable front and rear suspension. Simply rotate the steel upper wishbone joiner to lengthen or shorten the arm. The ride height can be easily adjusted by using the plastic sleeves which fit on the shock absorbers.

In action the Rex-X buggy is a fast and sure-footed performer. With the default setup the handling of the car is generally neutral with a tendency towards understeer and straightening up under power I found. Compared to the rear 2wd electric cars I have mostly driven the car is very easy to drive fast, and a real blast.
Watching the car powering through wet grass with rooster tails of water spay is great. It handles the bumps well also. The car is generally rugged, I have managed to break the upper rear gearbox case however. This component appears to me to be the weak point on the car as it's heavily loaded whenever the car flips at speed and lands on the rear wing.
The standard spiked tyres grip well in the grass, mud and soil, they also wear very well on these surfaces.

I would recommend this nitro car to any petrol head, it's fast, great fun to drive and generally tough. The price tag is reasonable also.
