There's something I like about academy buggies...you generally get a pro setup but for a good price. It's a shame Academy weren't aggressive enough. The SBV2 Pro was (or maybe is) still popular in the States.
Anyway...I recently picked up an SBV2 pro. I gave it a good clean and rebuild.
Body + wing + undertray are SBV2 stock. Rims and tyres are Academy Fusion. Losi threaded shocks all round.
Some of the electrics: Novak Velociti 7.5T with 3racing heat sink; SP LPF ver2 speedo. Savox 1258mg servo. Opposite is a trackpower 5000mah 40-50c stick lipo. I used velcro on the chassis and underside of the lipo to keep it secure. Works really well once you've put the carbon battery strap on top! Saves from buying Diggidy Designs lipo holder, which is nice but too costly!
I've still got a few things to do...fit a rear anti-roll bar. But I need the fixing for it which I can't seem to find!
I've worked hard to source spares including chassis bits and a stiffener!
I have given it a quick test run..FFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTT!!!
Bring on the SBv3....yes, Andreas it's coming!
