There has been some rumors and speculation around the web in recent months about a new 1/5 scale desert buggy being released. I posted a picture a couple of weeks back of a buggy I found online that I was hoping would be from Redcat. Check it out below:
I also found a post over at LargeScaleNews.com that showed some teaser images of a soon to be released 5th Scale buggy that looks a lot like the photo I found earlier. Have a look at the wheels and tires, front bumper, and the spare tire carrier above the rear shock tower...looks very similar to me.
Last but not least, in an interview on The Drivers Stand R/C podcast, Dan from Redcat confirmed that they do in fact have a new 1/5 Scale Desert Buggy coming out this summer - perhaps as soon as June!
If you have any further information about this new buggy, leave a comment and let us know what you've found. In the meantime, I'm saving some money to pick myself up a gas version and brushless to replace my XBE!
I'll keep you posted as I learn more.
