Sexy new buggy

Will Traxxas sue them or is their dumb patent on 70's tech too specific? In any case, I like the idea of not busting shocks when landing upside down ;-)

I originally thought the same, but after talking with some guys at Agama, it's not a cantilever design, just a basic lever where there is no 90° bracket being used to pivot on. So Traxxas can suck it, ha!

The N1e... I can't wait to see that thing in action!

Very cool looking buggy for sure.

Mike Ankey, the owner of VRP has been racing one locally in my area for a while now. He's made numerous modifications to the point where it's nothing close to what you get out of the box. The stock geometry is based on Euro tracks and if you want to run it on USA style tracks, then you need 20H pistons, and slough of geometry changes to the levers that VRP has been testing and these mods aren't even commercially available yet except for the pistons:

I personally wouldn't get one until VRP makes the mods available to the public or if he shares the new geometry as options for Agama to fabricate their own USA version of the kit.

Tyler Jones ditched the N1 faster than any pro I know in history after release of a new platform:

VRP continues to sponsor Jones where's his main sponsor is simply VRP, ha!

Euro tracks and if you want to run it on USA style tracks

How are EU and US tracks different?

How are EU and US tracks different?

Generally EU tracks tends to have smaller jumps and are very well maintained with super high grip.

US tracks are generally loose pack, dusty with monster air and lots of blown out sections, literally polar opposites of each other.
