Buggies typically feature tires with a pronounced off-road tread pattern and a well-tuned suspension, making them ideal models for tough off-road use. The gearboxes are often sealed, protecting them from dirt ingress. Additionally, the shock absorbers usually operate hydraulically and can be tuned with various oils. A brushed motor is particularly appealing due to its simple design and resulting ease of maintenance. Furthermore, the brushed motor is significantly cheaper to purchase compared to a brushless motor. Kits consist of model components that need to be assembled and may require additional parts. This allows for a variety of configuration options but also requires some prior knowledge in model building. Difficulty level: Beginner. No special prior knowledge in model building is required for this product. The necessary materials for completion and operation are usually fully included in the delivery.
