HERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF MY CASTER ZX1 WHICH I BOUGHT IN BOLTON FROM BOLTON MODEL MART , I WENT IN TO BUY A HYPER 7 BUT THE SALES GUY THERE TALKED ME OUT OF IT AS HE COULD NOT TELL ME HOW MUCH OF A MISTAKE IT WOULD BE , HE COULD NOT BIG UP THE CASTERS ENOUGH AND I AM GLAD I DID BUT ON LOOKING AROUND I FOUND THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE NITROTEK VRX 2 BUGGY ? ANY WHAT DOES U THINK .... THANKS FOR LOOKING .

hey coopy

I used to work for Nitrotek and the vrx2 buggy was okay but the chassis was going through alot of bad changes so much so that it will be shortly discontinued in place of another 1/8th buggy

my advice to you sell the VRX and stick with the Caster

Rob and Ash at Bolton Model Mart will give you good advice there good guys

i have not got a vrx 2 but just thought it looks like the caster , yes rob seemed as though he knew what he was talking about , was not sure though as i thought he was on commision if he sold me a caster zx1 as was wondering why he said they were soooo! good , as i was going to go for a hyper 7 as i thought they looked better ! anyways ended up with this now , the wife bought it me for me birthday as i am a big kid .... lol she says cant have it till 4th march lol so its stuck in its box till then ... god damn it . lol

get wreckless

break it out
race it
put it back in the box

and on your birthday open the box ( wife looks confused )

say " yeah love it comes dirty as thats how it looks all the time"lol

High Coopy,

Just follow some of the guidance on this site for mods and its a great buggy, have 3 in the family now and they are all great, very solid buggy, any set up info you require just ask, in Uk you have pitman, unseenmagic and andy taylor, all great blokes and very helpful as well as all the great help from the other international drivers and forum members on here. Great family,
Caster is definitely taking off in the UK, here of lots of people discussing them on uk forums and majority is positive, Great to here Bolton pushing them as well

OK, it appears you got a new one. It has the big bore shocks and new wing and new aluminum parts. You also got the new foams.

That car is equal to a Mugen or a Losi. Do not undervalue it. In my opinion, the only weak spot is the body and that has even been improved in the last 6 months.

[Parrotman]

Let me know when you have those in stock, put one aside, I will buy it. :)

[hakmazter]

I think I have some of them already. I need to verify.

[coopycoopy]

i know that bolton model mart as them on stock just google them for web page and just around the corner from them also in bolton answer-rc too , answer-rc say they come with a filler bottle and glow start for £260 but bolton model mart are selling them for £230 without filler and glow start ? and they do mail order .

www.lstshop.co.uk
the above is the web site for bolton model mart

anyways thanks for your advise , i will try and get some fuel in it b 4 march , dont want to upset the WARDEN lol , also i will look on the caster web site for mods and upgrades , hope the go tech engines .25 is as good as they say . thanks again ....

[hakmazter]

Interesting..... US versions come with everything. I do not want to have someone buy a Losi fuel bottle or an OFNA glow igniter when we have them available...

[coopycoopy]

NOT SURE ALL I KNOW IS THAT ON THE ANSWER-RC UK WEB SITE IT SAYS > All the Caster buggies and truggies are inspected in this country for radio set up so you can be sure that the transmitter trims, servo reverse and End Point Adjustment (EPA) are all set correctly.. The kit comes pretty much ready to run and includes filler bottle and glow start. IT MIGHT BE A TYPE ERROR ! BUT IN THE MODEL SHOP THERE REDUCED BY £30 PROB BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INC AND I HAD TO BUY THEM SEPERATELY , BUT AT £230 THEY ARE A BARGAIN EVEN WITHOUT THE BOTTLE AND GLOW START !

ANYWAYS I CRANKED UP THE ENGINE ON THE CASTER ZX 1 .25 YESTERDAY AND IT REVED ITS NUTS OFF STALLED AND NEVER WORKED AGAIN ... SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP , WERE THE TRIM ON THE TROTTLE WAS SET TO HIGH WHEN I PULLED THE PULL START ... ENGINE BROKE UP . ANYWAYS TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT THE SHOP PUT A NEW GO TECH SPORT ENGINE ON BUT BIGGER A .28 AND SET TIT UP FOR ME SO WELL DONE AND THANKS TO THE GUYS AT BOLTON MODEL MART AND ANSWER-RC UK BOTH BASED IN BOLTON LANCASHIRE ENGLAND .... CHEERS !
