This just came in today. I ordered it on Ebay from Kyosho America. There are two color options, it seems like a nice entry level buggy for only $139.99. Thanks for watching!
That was nice to see, I had been a bit curious about this buggy! Thanks for getting it so early and showing it to us! As you said, looks a bit toy'ish, and that was also the impression I got from Kyosho's promo video... But it looked alright on the bench (except for the rear shocks, ha ha!), and what's interesting is how it drives! I'll be looking out for your run video, see how it does!
I picked up a Sandmaster MK1 a couple of months ago,second hand.Always wanted one,quite like the looks. This Mk2 looks essentially the same,though with a few "upgraded" parts. They drive quite nicely,it is definitely set up for on road,and beginners-the castor on the front makes it difficult to spin out, it has massive understeer. I replaced the pogo stick shocks with some alu ones and changed the wheels/tyres for larger buggy ones,as the ground clearance is pretty poor. It now drives quite well on the dirt. Motor can overheat quite badly with that thick motor stone guard thingy around it. A fun project and rare to find that many 2WD buggies these days. It goes much like my Tamiya DT-02 though heavier and less responsive on corners.
great video! very well explained! I wonder if the differential and a couple of small gears in the gearbox are the same as in the sandmaster, the axxe, nexxt, monster tracker, many users of the Ez series suffered from a shortage of parts for this cart (if there were any on ebay but at exaggerated prices)

Looks like a fun buggy. Cheers!

Looks like a Radio Shack car.
