Well they finally released the news and the new 1/18th scale Caster Buggy and Truggy are on their way. These are pictures of the proto types and from what I am told the release versions will have the same colored aluminum as the 1/8th scale versions. More will come when info is available.

We got 50 of them in now.... New and improved...and every part available for them.

We have them listed for $200 and there is a discount code that drops them to $150.

Talk about a phenominal deal. I am pretty sure that Jason is going to buy a pro kit and they require assembly.......They are the same price, just no brushless and no radio, servo....but are mostly aluminum....

and they all come with the Caster wing like on the truggy in picture 2 now for the official youtube identifier....

I fixed the banner links here at NK. The 1/18th buggy goes to the RTR page at Casters site and the 1/18th truggy banner goes to the Pro kit a Casters site.
