ORB Racing, makers of their FF210 FWD 1/10th scale conversion have opened pre orders for this unique buggy.

The front-wheel-drive concept claims to offer higher cornering speeds than rear wheel drive buggies whilst also maintaining better stability, resulting in a car that is both consistent and quick. In the kit are nylon 3D components (dyed black), carbon fibre composite plates, a clear polycarbonate bodyshell and some small parts and hardware. You will need a separately available Team Durango DEX210V2 donor vehicle and electronics to complete the FWD Buggy.
