In essence it is on-road for buggies with road car bodies, road racing for those that don't want to have to vacuum the track before running to avoid crashing, that could take place in bumpy car parks as well as specially prepared tracks. It started with people converting buggies with road tires and stiffer suspension but has progressed to specially designed cars, there are quite a few available ranging from the most popular and probably the worst the Kyosho Inferno GT which is still basically a stiffened buggy but done by the factory, to more specialised race bred ultralight machines with belt drive and ball diffs the pinnacle of which is probably the Cronos SP9 which I'm loath to post a picture of because it makes my buggy look like a shed in comparison, but is too awesome not to so heres the pic.

I just have to ask for no posts saying how awesome the SP9 is without mentioning my car too please, I wish I could afford an SP9 but even with all the carbon and if I added a set of titanium turnbuckles it would still be twice the cost of mine at £600.


Hot Bodies Lightning 2 Pro carbon, Mega 22/30/2, MMM, 4s3-5Ah.
Tamiya F201 carbon, Mamba 7700, MM, 2s A123 2.3ah.
Xray XT8, 1518, MMM, 4s5Ah.
Lots of boats.
