    Without a doubt the best buggy pound for pound in my eyes. You get a fairly good esc and slightly improved motor as standard and many kits out there with cva''s in the box too. Plus they are great buggies that can handle plenty of power should you choose to push it a bit.

    Great value for money kit lads! With those hop ups that's guna be a very capable and fun buggy. With ya on those Super stock motors, we regularly use the RZ, TZ, and BZ in our Tamiya's. They are a very good match for most Tamiya kits and certainly give them the perfect amount of 'nip factor'.... and, are nicely compatible with the stock tamiya ESC's. Look forward to seeing this bad boy running! 👍 👍 👍 👍

I've found all the superstock series perform very similar, I generally base my decision on what colour Bell end matches the car best..... woops, I mean end bell! 🤣 😂 The RZ definitely seems to have a bit more punch though, possibly due to its lay down brush design.
