Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2006Sportwerks Chaos....Anyone?
Fellas, New little 1/16th nitro buggy released this month by Sportwerks to compete with the IRC Vulcan and soon-to-be-released Kyosho Mini-Inferno nitro buggy. Reviews I've read are mixed. Some love it, some hate it. Some have had zero durability issues, some have had lots. Everyone seems to agree it's slow as snot. Anyone on here have one or know someone who does? From what I can tell, this is just a rebadged Tiktor Miwi <from France>. Doc > Fellas, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Doc Well I'm still waiting for my brussless 8000rpm per volt setup to arrive for my Mini Inferno. Should wipe the floor with any little nitro thing when it arrives :) When the Kyosho nitro mini is released I think I need to have one of those as well, even if they are snot slow :) Cheers Dre >> Fellas, >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Cheers Dre Well I just took a look on the net and I have to say, the Kyosho looks a SHITLOAD nicer. All IMHO of course :) But I am a bit of an Inferno fan :P Cheers Dre >>> Fellas, >>> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Cheers Dre I'm in agreement with ya there. The Chaos is an ugly little bugger huh!? I've heard that the nitro mini-inferno is gunna retail somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 RTR which is pretty steep for a 1/16 buggy and won't be out till late fall here in the US. I figured a chaos might hold me off unitl I got my hands on a mini inferno. Methinks I'll just wait! Got the wifey driving the Kanai yesterday and she really liked it. I dialed out most of the throttle and some steering via the radio which made it much easier for a first-time driver to handle. After 10 minutes or so she was ready for some more throttle so I upped the EPA to 50% (which produced a top speed of 25mph or so). She is now interested in my Savage.................and has plans to bling it out in pink and chrome if I'm willing to pass the reins. Hmmmmmm.....................

Damn thing is practically indestructible. Plus, I don't drive it all that much anymore as I'm pretty hooked on my Kanai buggy at the moment. Although it would be "her's", I'd still be able to drive it after removing the pink body and chrome bling wheels. My other thought is to grab her a Revo 3.3 as the EZ-Start system would be great for a newb. Doc >>> Got the wifey driving the Kanai yesterday and she really liked it.

The 3.3 as what, a .19, .20? Should hopefully be a lot more big blockish in nature, which can only be a good thing...
