5 years in the making, the new 2018 SOAR Seiki 998 TD1R 1/8 Pro Nitro off-Road Buggy Kit is finally here!
 
 In 2011, SOAR Seiki Racing was formed with 1 goal in mind - to produce the best 1/8th scale R/C buggy in the world that is capable of winning the IFMAR World Championships. In 2014, the first generation of the SOAR 998 buggy was released. After thorough testing in the real world, the 998 was completely revised and the SOAR 998 TD1 was released in 2016. Now for 2018, the very capable 998 TD1 buggy has had another major overhaul, resulting in the 998 TD1R. The TD1R may look the same, but nearly every single part has been redesigned and improved upon for more durability and better performance on the track.
 
 
 
Running changes during 2017 for improved durability on the 998 TD1: 
  • Larger satellite differential gears for more tooth contact, tighter gear mesh, and more consistent diff action
  • Harder plastic front & rear bulkheads to reduce stripping out the screw holes 
  • Softer plastic pill inserts to reduce the chance of cracking and also allow a tighter hinge pin fit for less slop in the suspension 
  • Harder plastic lower A-arms for improved handling and softer plastic A-arms available for cold weather racing 
  • Redesign rear uprights to survive hard impacts and crashes 
  • Redesign front upper arms to survive crashes and hard impacts 
  • Redesigned 7079 aluminum chassis to allow more engine adjustment for proper gear mesh with all engine brands
