Want a high-performance off-road nitro buggy? The Ansmann Racing Vapor, a 1/8th scale 4WD racing machine, looks to be a model to seriously look into. Touted as one of the most advanced vehicles in its class, it's a ride that strikes a neat balance between price and performance.
Available as a ready-to-run RC, the green and black body makes for one sexy number. Green is the shade of choice, by the way, and much of the parts also come with a touch of the same color. The badass rear wing, chrome racing wheels and block spike tires round out the gratifying aesthetics.
A factory-installed 4.6cc (.28ci) AR-28 pull-start engine delivers the push and acceleration necessary for the Vapor to perform at racing speeds. Boasting "maximum driving performance under all conditions," it employs an innovative design of extra large shocks and mid-engine design, that help achieve both great jumping ability and excellent overall balance. Specially-developed upper front suspension arms give it much-needed stability, while the sturdy 3mm-thick aluminum chassis should hold up well to the toughest bumps you can throw its way.
Other notable features of the ride include a 6kg metal geared servo, front and rear stabilizers, full ball bearing transmission and hardened drive shafts. It comes with a 40MHz digital steerwheel RC system, which provides great feel and smooth maneuvering, even through difficult races. There's also a good range of hop-ups to help you boost it for more high-profile competitions.
Equipped with enhancements that put it on par with the best buggy racers in the field, the Ansmann Racing Vapor promises powerful and dependable performance in a slick package. Priced afford ably, it doesn't sound like a bad vehicle to try out.
