In the market for a fast-driving buggy with all the durability to withstand the harshest off-road tracks? Then you might take a liking to the Kyosho DBX VE 2.0, a compact and stylish racer for all levels of users.
While built on a 1/8-scale buggy design, the vehicle's cab forward design actually manages to look and feel smaller, giving it faster lap times compared to similarly-decked cars. It has the same wheelbase and track width as conventional 1/8-scale buggies, too, allowing for plenty of options in upgrades for competition races.
The Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 features the Team Orion Vortex 10 EVO brushless motor (Type 540), which boasts "jaw-dropping power and acceleration," and a cooling fan-equipped R10 ESC. It's built on a full-time 4WD chassis for clearing rough terrain, paired with the same wheels and tires as the much bigger Nitro Inferno Neo Race Spec buggy.
Details include large bore shocks with threaded bodies, wide-span suspension arms, multi-point adjustable parts, a brand new steering layout and aluminum motor mounts. It comes ready to race and fully assembled, too -- just add the consumables (batteries, stick pack, etc.) and drop it on the ground to start putting your local tracks to work.
Availability for the Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 is slated for December at a suggested retail price of $512.99.
