Default Agama a8

Enjoyed this buggy in the past. Last race was the psycho nitro blast 2012. Super rough track. Only aftermarket part I used was competition racing products shock pistons which made a huge difference over stock. Made it to the a main from the b and finished 7th I believe.

Currently working on getting settled in the new shop and getting things going. To my surprise I have a fair amount of work already on the way. Once I get started I'll get pictures posted and let everyone see the new Speed Shop. Found this old video looking around back when the shop was in Alabama. I always like to show guys what went into the work that we did and how the shop was organized and set up.

Normally $60 plus return shipping for a 1/8 build(contents in box). It's a little more to install servos,clutch and engine.

Doing my services for half price to get the word out again. What kind of kit do you have?

Got my practice buggy prepped up and ready for my 2nd track session after a 2 year break. Didn't go bad. TLR 3.0 is really awesome!
