Considerando che per le rtr non ci vado matto, questa non mi sembra male:

Serpent Cobra Buggy RTR Novarossi

Features

Chassisplate
Chassisplate in 3mm 7075 T6 aluminium. Kick-up angle on front for stabile landings. Countersunk holes. Slots to locate the front and rear suspension mounts precisely. Angled sides to increase stiffness.

Sideguards
Strong composite sideguards keep most of the dirt out and offer good protection for the valuable gear inside. The sideguards also double act as side stiffners and influence the flex of the chassis overall.

Bumper
Aligned with chassis kikc-up for precise landings and to protect front suspension holde rand anti-roll bar.

Chassis stiffners
Composite stiffner front and rear, to give extra stiffness, but still allow some flex as needed for extra traction.#

Central radio / servo mount

Central low dual brake system
The Cobra features a low positioned dual brake system with lightweight glass-fibre disks with springloaded race-brake pads. Very effective stopping power.

Engine
Serpent selected the Novarossi pullstart engine for the Cobra buggy. The outstanding quality level, high performance, combined with easy starting and long lasting runtime, makes this engine the ideal partner to start racing. Novarossi also offers a special backplate in case you change to a bumpstart system later, so you can continue with the same engine even longer !
The engine is mounted securely on machined aluminium engine mounts.

Polished tuned pipe system
The DragonRC polished inline tuned pipe system works really well with the Novarossi engine and produces a sharp and powerfull tune. Fire it up !

Clutch

Il telaio è un 7075 quindi ergal e non il solito T6 ovvero 6061 (avional) con caratteristiche del materiale mooooolto superiori e poi anche il resto (tranne il motore) sembra di livello. Certo, il Cobra 811 è un modello passato ma per cominciare con l'offroad ad un prezzo contenuto in 400 euro non mi sembra da scartare a prescindere.
