Jegs Holeshot truck and Stinger buggy info

Post by TokyoProf »

Wanted to start an info thread on the Holeshot and Stinger buggies. This has been described as a more affordable OEM clone of the Genova buggy from Gforce. Please share any of your insights, advice or review or pics yours RC. I will have to wait a while to get mine.
Would have been nice to have bought ten and started a fun novice class :)

Can the friction shocks be filled with oil by chance?
Are the composite plastics different quality from the Gforce Genova?
Also, except for the tires, body post, and body, are the Holeshot and Stinger the exact same?
The front tires look like the old RC10T3 tires, are they decent quality?

According to the manual the shocks are oil filled

Also, if you look at the parts that Jegs carry you can see the different length arms for the truck and buggy, which would also mean the upper arms and drive shafts. The chassis is the same, so this will be a pretty long buggy. Basically like a Bandit

for future reference sake, and since Jegs is removing the pages with these documents, here are the exploded views:

If you do Facebook, the RCKicks group has several folks posting about these cars. The RCKicks YouTube channel has done a few videos as well.

If you have the Holeshot how has the experience been so far with this truck? Holding up well and any modifications you recommend? Will be able to finally take it out of storage to take it for a run.

Not sure if the stinger is much different than a holeshot. I gave my 7 year old the stinger and put truck tires on it for him. Seems to hold up to bashing just fine.
