At last, the moment we all been waiting for. O’Donnell buggy is out with their first pictures. thanks to R/C Car for their World Exclusive Official Photos of this buggy. For me the brand O’Donnell buggy is not complete without mentioning the great Pro driver, Jared Tebo. With Jared help in the development of this buggy and of course with the O’Donnell team too, do one ever wonder with doubt that this O’Donnell buggy came out with a very nicely finished buggy with C-hubs, front and rear, very beefy suspension arms and gold anodized machined shock towers. I don’t. Just check the pictures …. great stuff here.
