Do you believe in MAGIC?!
[ratings]
Yes do you believe in magic? Team Magic M1B that is. Thanks to Neobuggy.net and my friend Mr. Philip, they did their own investigation of this so-called MAGIC buggy. Another great review and pictures at their site. Please visit them for more details.
Let me quote from the tester himself:
Conclusion:
The M1-B has certainly been a joy to build and run. High quality materials, amazing tolerances and detailed design all for a unique buggy. When Team Magic says the M1B is a “technological masterpiece” I don’t think they are boasting too much at all. As an engineer I really appreciate the meticulous attention to detail that has gone into the design of every single component. I feel like I have said unique a thousand times throughout this review, but it really does best describe the buggy.Team Magic has taken a risk making something very different, and risks don’t always pay off. For the M1B though, the risks have paid off greatly. We know the buggy is fast enough, due to results it has already achieved, that’s one box ticked. I believe this class is one that is constantly getting closer to perfection, and the M1B is no exception, taking us closer yet.
Realistically, we are getting to a point where a lot of buggies are just as quick around a track with the right setups. Therefore the racer will be looking at what the M1B can offer them over rivals, and what are the downfalls.
unique and clever braking system
This small grub screw can apply friction to the diff to change the settings without requiring an oil change. Very clever!
The shock absorbers are unusually mounted from the side, reducing their height by around 10mm and reducing the shock towers height by 20-25mm. This huge height saving really helps keep the buggy low down!

It looks very promising. I like the unique design features and the mouldings look very nice. Team magic always seem to think laterally with their cars. Some of the videos are impressive too, Crompy certainly get’s some major air with his example.
