Review: Team Associated Reflex DB10 Desert Buggy
You’ve seen the unboxing – you’ve seen the action video (you have, right?). Now it’s time for our review of Team Associated’s Reflex DB10 1:10 scale Desert Buggy.
This buggy surprised me quite a bit; I figured the handling would be a bit off-base since it was based on the 2WD SC5M, however with the addition of AE’s new DVC (or Dynamic Vehicle Control), it actually handles really well!
