This is the great looking and even better performing HSP nitro radio controlled buggy. The buggy is extra tough and a good all rounder performing well both on road and off. The Backwash is feature packed making it one of the top spec buggies on the market and the .18 engine along with the automatic 2 speed gearbox makes it extremely quick. Please note there are two other cheaper versions of the HSP nitro buggy but this is the top of the range one that has the two speed gearbox and also the pivot ball suspension. These also have our Nitrotek upgrades on them such as the chrome finished wheels, Infinity engine and wheel type transmitter. The Backwash comes fully built with everything included apart from fuel, glow start (both optional below) and 12 normal AA batteries.
These versions of this nitro radio controlled buggy have been upgraded with high quality Team Infinity engines. Team Infinity engines are made in Japan and feature a simplified carb that makes them the easiest to start and one of the most reliable engines on the market. Usually these models come with engines made in Taiwan or China that you will see being offered by other model shops selling these but from our experience we have found the extra few pounds for a Japanese engine is well worth it for the difference in quality and performance.
These Backwash models are also kitted out with wheel type 2.4GHz controllers. These have many advantages over AM/FM transmitters:
Improved reliability due to less interference at this frequency range
Quicker more responsive control
Lower power consumption
Many models can drive together at once without need for checking frequencies and crystals etc
