desert buggy

So my littlest dropped his radio onto concrete. It turns on and connects but won't maintain a constant connection. It kinda twitches about instead of just listening to what I tell it to do. Occasionally is works fine for 10-30 seconds before just stuttering and twitching again. I took it apart...

Hi there, Last year we gave our son a ECX amp buggy for his birthday, he's only 7, so he runs it pretty hard. Just recently, the steering stopped working. I've searched the forum and I see posts that are similar, but I'm trying to connect all of the dots and could use some help. From what I've...

I've been working on this AMP DB for a few months now, the over steer is killing me, how do you guys tackle this issue? In a straight line it hooks up like a dragster but, I have to corner awful slow. Outside of weight, what else can I do to make it handle better, specs in photo description but...

I'm relatively new to RC cars and have an AMP DB and an AMP MT. Recently, the MT's steering-servo crapped out, and, while I was repairing that, I decided to upgrade the ECS/Motor to one that could naively support LiPO without the need for a Low-voltage-alarm. $120 later, I had the titanium...

So I did some upgrading on my Desert Buggy... :cool: Kinexis 4000Kv with ESC T-Bone front and rear bumpers GPM front and rear shocks Boom Racing front shock tower Boom Racing front arms Hot Racing front hubs TrackStar TS4G Tx/Rx Also bought the Hot Racing SECT288 CV axles, but ruined the first...

Just bought two AMP's, one Buggy, one MT so i can spend some father/son time away from an xbox. Loving the cars, fully understand they are entry level and nothing flash. Now that they have been driven and crashed a bit they are starting to wobble at top speed. If i manipulate the tyres by...

Novak Hammer Combo motor and ESC RPM Servo Saver Traxxas turnbuckles front end put in this evening will see how they do in the coming days. Really liking the Novak system alot. Still looking for the right tires to put on it yet. If you got any feedback on them? Fun car for sure.

Thanks for everyone for answering my recent questions. I picked up a pair of Desert Buggies yesterday. They're perfect for what I was looking for, and the little one is enjoying them. The dual rate throttle works amazingly well. Here's a few photos:

ECX RC has done a great job with the ECX AMP MT / DB (monster truck / desert buggy) RC's. The ECX AMP RC's are a great fit for someone looking to get into the radio control hobby or looking for a backyard basher. While the ECX AMP is fun right out of the box (or freshly built if you bought the...

I'm looking at the AMP DB as a first RC for my 5 year old son. I especially like that the radio has dual rate for the throttle and that it seems to be physically smaller than most transmitters. However, in the future, I'm sure I will want to begin upgrading to lipos, faster motors etc. Does...

I am looking to get a buggy as a first RC for my 5 year old. He likes the buggies over any of the trucks and I ended up looking at the AMP Dune Buggy and the Boost. ECX seems to have the durability I want, and the 20T motor will keep speeds down for him to learn on. Problem is, the two cars have...

ECX has a new RC, the ECX Roost 4WD Desert Buggy a 1/24th scale buggy equipped with a 4WD drivetrain and potent micro motor. The Roost handles just like a real desert buggy and even looks the part thanks to a multi-panel screened body and roll cage. Best of all, an included USB charger gives you...
