Here's my final thoughts of the Duratrax 835e 1/8th scale RTR buggy. In this video, I go over Pros and cons of the brushless beast and sum up whether I would recommend it to others.
Feel free to check out my unboxing/first look video:
Also, check out the running video, where I caught HUGE air and whipped the 8lbs buggy:
Here's where I got it and some info from Duratrax:
True 1/8 scale size — undeniable 1/8 scale power.
With the 835E, there's no tradeoff between affordable price and performance — you get both in the same package. The going-in price is a pleasant surprise...and what's even better is what you get for your money. It starts off with a 1/8 scale-size brushless power system. It's an Onyx 2200kV brushless motor matched to an Onyx 120A waterproof ESC — a combo that can translates to serious air time off jumps, explosive hole shots and wailing top end for straights.
And things only get better from there, because the 835E is loaded with what you want. Extras like sway bars. Tuning options that are usually add-ons. A 2.4GHz transmitter. Hardened steel and anodized aluminum parts — and the protection of the only free, 1-year parts replacement guarantee in all of R/C.
The Duratrax 835E: get it — and hit it. Hard.
