Check out this new buggy from XTM called the Rail. It looks like a mini 5B but it's brushless....sweet. It's 1/8 scale so it uses the typical 3 diff setup. This looks like a very fun vehicle to drive.

That actually looks very nice. Whats the price for the BL version?

I definately like the looks of it, sweeeeeeet

Finally a 1/8th buggy that doesn't look identically to every other buggy out there.

Awesome! Very nice looking buggy!

Does anyone know the site of XTM? (Which works?)

i think this is their site:

http://xtm.globalhobby.com/

the buggy does look great, and i'm glad someone's finally getting 1/8 paddles back to the states.

too bad it has a hobbywing system in it

I looked around online & they're saying it's going to go for $499 but I think it's going to be lower than that, XTMs are usually very affordable. I think this is great, finally a buggy that looks like a buggy, can't wait to see it in person....might have to get one

Looks like a stellar bashing buggy. Something along the line of what I am used to. Hard to tell from the pics but I wonder where the battery tray lies.

why is that such a bad thing?

Looks like it can take a beating. Even with the HW system, if the price is right I am game. Looks like more fun than a slash 4x4 for a basher.

I am surprised! I saw this at LHS today, in PERTH

TexasSP · 06.18.2010, 11:29 AM

Need pictures pink........

How much was it in Aus dollars?

I wonder then how soon they will hit the states?

reno911 · 06.18.2010, 11:32 AM

With an upgraded powerplant and radio, this thing would be insane.

I imagine that the paddle tires, will go very well with those seeking them for 8th scale applications as well.

In the recent Radio Control CAR ACTION mag they've done a real nice write up, looks interesting but yeah the weak point in my eyes is ESC and motor, 4s max ?

TexasSP · 06.18.2010, 01:37 PM

Don't worry, Castle Creations has an app for that!
