I am based in Asia, but from what I can tell there are is no distributor in Europe although Modeltune (modeltune.co.uk/) does stock PR products.

ATC in Belgium and Wartelle in France.

​@@marklim7851Where do u get it from asia?

Thank you for your comment. I couldn't agree more. I would add to that the fact that the cars are very *VERY* capable on the track. I also appreciate that their cars are never really outdated in the sense that many of the upgrades on their new cars are backward compatible with the versions before.

Nobody does unless you buy a carpet version. Would be nice if they made a carpet version

@littlecncshop this is the carpet version, it has the geardiff and rear roll bars. The other brands do include the rollbar like ae

​@StickyGeko you mean only ae does? Tlr, xray, and tekno don't.

Yes it is. It is located in Bukit Panjang.

Thank you very much. Here in Singapore where I'm located it is our first language.

@@marklim7851 English?

​@@bradkalman2353 yes, English. :)

I'm not sure there is a big enough market for them but they would be awesome fun on the track!

@@marklim7851 and they could race against 4wd and 2wd.

It would be an interesting challenge. However, the TD4 out of the box is (in my opinion) quite a decent performer already and with a bit of tuning I think it would work pretty well on the track where I run. The TD2 was good fun on dirt but I could not get that front end to work on astro (at least without massive time and effort).

I haven't physically tried, but I don't see why not. There should be sufficient space to fit that ESC with fan.

I think I saw some videos on that. I think the guys that design and print 3D RC cars are brilliant! But I'm very curious if a 3D printed RC car would be able to withstand the rigours of track racing - especially with the guys I run with. lol! maybe something to try in the future.

@@marklim7851 some say they can now, the materials have been improving ever so slightly with 3d printing, the stuff I heard they use is just PLA+ an advance version of pla that is tough enough to withstand impacts, also if some parts do break you basically have the manufacturing power to make a replacement for cheap~

I've seen this one sold by Ridelow racing (ridelowracing.com/product/pr-racing-pr-s1-v3-fan-mount/) but I have not tried it myself. I have a small 3D fan mount that locates the fan in the space just in front of the motor end-bell. I think it would be possible just to use heavy-duty double-sided tape to mount one there.

thanks for the comment. :)

Hi, thanks for the comment. I'm not sure there would be people interested given that this is quite a massive change in the front of the car.

Yes, the car is running stock springs. :)

@@marklim7851 looks really good, can’t wait to pick one up

Thank you. The car felt balanced and easy to drive so that definitely helped. :)

Thanks for the input. Typically FF buggies need the weight closer to the front for drive traction... but as you have mentioned, the trade-off is the tendency to nose-dive.

The PR buggies are certainly the most under-rated racing cars. They are refined, robust and spares are typically very well-priced. The only question is whether you have a source for parts support where you are at. :)

Did you end up getting the PR buggy and if so, how's your experience been? I'm intrigued by PR but not so fond of Ausrab Industries after having a bad experience with them.

This would be an idea I have been thinking about trying as well, its just that time (and all the other project ideas) have not allowed that to happen. One day though... :)

Thank you. This car is certainly one that has special meaning for me in my 'garage' of project cars. While I've grown to appreciate cab-forward bodies over time, I'll choose a mid or rear cab design anyday. :)

Hi there, this is a dedicated 1/10 track. Sadly it has gradually been converted to feature more astro-turf because dirt is so hard to maintain. Always appreciate your track owners I say. :)

Thanks for the comment. Based on my understanding, the motor in my buggy is slightly further forward than the Schumacher buggy you are referring to (I love Schumacher designs btw). 4-gear vs 3-gear transmissions are such an interesting discussion - both offer unique pros and cons. Over time, I've personally come to prefer 3-gear setup on high grip tracks exactly because of the reduced weight transfer. The cars stay flatter over acceleration - but importantly during braking - for stability in corners. The 4-gear cars can give great acceleration out of corners, but on braking can make the steering come on fast and hard. All in the setup I suppose. A rear-motor car with forward electronics sounds interesting. Thanks for the interesting project idea! :)

Thanks for the comment. The car comes with ball bearings in the kit. As for a slipper eliminator I think that would be best for stock 17.5 racing to reduce rotating mass. PR does sell one.

@@marklim7851 it does not come with ball bearings. Ball bearings is an option parts for 60USD. But thanks!

This is the SEGAR track located in Bukit Panjang.

Thanks. I have videos to do but have been a bit busy. Hopefully I'll get them done soon. :)

I really couldn't agree more... and this on stock tires too!

Thank you. I'm really glad you find the information helpful. :)

I think as with most race buggies today the kit was designed primarily with higher grip surfaces in mind. It doesn't mean it won't work on dirt, but I think it would take some setup especially on the shock package and the tires. PR does offer a ball diff which will help tremendously on dirt. The V3 had won our local nationals on a dirt track, so it is possible. :)

Yes. This is the Segar track.

I'm afraid I've never timed it... but it lasts quite a bit. :)

Yes this track is actually a community built track under a highway. Given our weather here it is a great plus as we are able to run our cars there except when the rain is extremely heavy.

Thanks for the nice comment. Where did you manage to find a bulldog body? I would love to get my hands on one or two for future projects. Yes I am still making videos but I work on these projects in my free time and as you can imagine they take some time to put together. Thank you for subscribing... motivates me to get to work on another vid soon.

This is located at Bukit Panjang (Segar offroad track) and there is a carpark abot 3-5minutes away. If you need a more detailed location let me know how I can get in touch. :)

Thanks 👍 Appreciate the kind comment.

Hey there, thanks for the comment. You are spot on that the KF sported a layout with similarities to my project car, and the KC that came after allowed even more motor positions - I always appeciate how Schumacher has their unique design philosophies. :) I compared my car with a friend's KC and the two key differences were that the Yokomo transmission is a hybrid belt-gear system and that the central transmission on my buggy is slightly further forward.

You may try looking up a PR dealer in your country. If you are in Singapore you can head to the RaceWorks facebook page.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! More projects to come! :)

It's really hard to part ways with my projects because of the work that's gone into each one... I doubt anyone would ever be willing to pay what I think they are worth (to me at least). lol

Thank you for your kind comments. Building a unique car that works at the track is always a thrill for me. :)

Thanks for the kind words. The Tekno would be an awesome base for a 2wd buggy conversion. There was a small run of nicely made conversion kits (I think by a company in Australia iirc) some years back... I'd love to get my hands on one sometime to see how it runs. :)

@@marklim7851 willspeed is also a good contender when speaking of custom buggys.

Thanks for the comment and the sub!

Appreciate the sub. Thank you!

Thanks, knowing there are guys who enjoy the content makes the effort to edit them worthwhile. :)

Yes I have seen those awesome buggies. I really like how Schumacher often innovates when it comes to buggy design. The KF and KC certainly gave me hope that my concept would work. The key differences are that the Ymax2 still uses a rear gearbox (vs the pure belt drive) and the motor is further forward. Hope we continue to see more innovative buggies in the future. :)

Thank you for the kind words. :)

Thanks Gabriel! Catch up soon :)
