Yusa buggy?

[Mike_D]

Post some pics if you can.

didn't one of the rc car mags do a test on one this month and said how it was set up for pavement and was horrible on the dirt? They had to change quite a bit to get it to handle on the track..

Uhhh, yeah... as brutal of a review that was they were being kind. With one way grub screws as links and without dual threaded adjustment nuts on any links the Thunder Tiger it was/is a nightmare to tune, so much so that at a point they kind of just gave up on trying to tune the thing. It is tunable, however it's a pain and the factory settings are just stupid. I also forgot to mention it has fixed tension on the servo saver - which sucks. Someone early on said they wouldn't waste their money on a Yusa , I would say unless you are desperate, strapped for cash, and have an anything will do just get me a buggy mental moment, the Thunder Tiger is a poor choice. Honestly I am not really sure what Thunder Tiger was thinking.

Last night I did a partial tear down and side by side with one of my Yusa rollers. The problem as I see it is that other than the Aluminum front hubs everything else would be a downgrade if I started moving parts to the Yusa.

FYI - RC Car floggs their test vehicles viscously. The Thunder Tiger unit they sent over had a bent deck, front shock tower, caster link, both front shock shafts were bent and the tires were bald. I of course straightened everything out and will simply just flog this thing until something breaks and sell it on ebay. I should probably continue this on some other post....

Yea I know. I used to work as a writer for a small time automotive mag years ago so I know how it works:)
anyway.. I was wondering IF the Tigers aluminum hubs fit the Yusa(Mine is due in today:)) and I think you answered my question.. Now I have to find a Thunder Tiger supplier for em..

I would use parts from the Katana.

Hit Ebay and search for Katana Buggy.

I just dropped a factory .26 Hot Bodies into once of my Yusa rollers. It should move along nicely with that motor.

For those of us who bought the Yusa 1/8 scale onroad sedan(or as Yusa advertises them,Rally car),if you need to replace the front and rear body mounting posts,Ofna part # 33011.This is for Ofnas Titan monster truck and their GTP,1/8 scale sedan.

now that I had a few days to dig in to it. i can see that its a 100% exactly same as the Protech Enigma XS. I used the manual link someone here posted and its 100% indentical..

Nice thread and info guys... I have not picked one up yet but it's tempting, esp since you guys have dug up the dirt on what parts work and what other clones this car has.

The rally version is a pretty neat car really.

its coming along nice..:)

Very close to getting all three up and running.

I had to pull the engine on the nitro version, install an HPI pull start on the engine. While I was at it I dropped the head into the tumbler to bring the original luster back up and then milled a couple cross hatches in the head with my new $350 Proxxon MF-70 Mini-Mill. I also used the mill to make a plate for the plate style NTB conversion. Pics coming soon.

Here is the mount I made with the Proxxon Mini-mill.

Go easy this is the first thing I have really made with the mill.

Looks good! You have plenty of adjustment, so that you could run a huge pinion for some top speed runs! (and esc/motor heat testing)

The mount looks really nice, i wish I had a mill! I would make all kinds of stuff, and not just rc related!

Also, where did you get the mill?

beautiful..:)
