    its supposed to be the same scale but its quite a bit bigger lol. its about the size of a 1/10 buggy and it uses 1/10 buggy rear wheels in the front andf rear of it.

    Awesome :D, I still have my 10' perception kayak that I wanted to use to run a few boats.


    Im game for sure! Iv trailed my dad's cheetah rc boat to get a approximate mph, was cool to be running mid 80s with a 3ft boat running next to us :cool:

    Btw I think I'll be 10miles from the ranch club so definitely not far

    I liked running mine from my kayak. worked out really well when I pulled an inflatable raft behind be too, to hold all of my tools/parts/etc. even had a battery box with my so I could re-charge the boat batteries.

    jesus, what kind of boat were you in? ours only does 55, maybe 60 on a good day, so it won't be keeping up with the cheetah....

    I've been doing a great job of not having any free time recently, but if you need any help at the new house, let me know. you're welcome to borrow the trailer if it'll help you move.

    What buggy is that?

    I've been on the edge about getting back into R/C. It's a huge money pit, addicting, and too fun. I still have my 2wd Slash that was setup with brushless. But fell apart after crashing into a wall at 70+mph. Been afraid to get it running again. Thinking if I give buggy racing a go, I'd break fewer parts and have a little more excitement competing.
