Well if you have owned one of these Trucks for a while you may now they are all brothers and sisters . If not now you know . If you live outside the US HobbyKing and BSD may be a faster and cheaper parts source for you if you live in the US Redcat Racing will Probably be the fasted way to get parts but HobbyKIng will be the cheapest if you buy in bulk. This list has a few upgrade parts scattered throughout and there are a few parts missing here or there I'm Sure.

I have added links to some of the part #s to places where they can be bought .( Not responsible for dead links or links to the wrong product ) verify what your ordering before you order. I have not included part numbers for screws and bearings due to there universal nature or any electronic items..

Redcat Racing Mirage Info just incase your looking for mods , upgrades , or just some other info.

Well after studying up on this buggy I decided I should post some parts that are specifically available for the Mirage to  improve its durability and speed . Now theres lots of parts out there that will fit but I'm sticking with the basics.

If you have a early model I would recommend checking the Redcat racing parts section and update some the parts to V2 spec as they they did revise a few parts . The parts have new part #'s or have had leters added to the end of the original part # but they all say V2 in the description . Redcat Mirage V2 parts

Also If you have a new model it appears Redcat has replaced the ESC that was originally used with a ESC that is now only 3S capable and looks similar to a Hobby Wing esc but with different labels. ESC pictured below.

Similar to new ESC

ESC originally used

So a new 4s capable esc may be a good upgrade for the speed freaks out there as this buggy is reported to run at around 45 mph on 3S lipos and 4S lipos push it to nearly 60 mph.

Ok now for the nitty gritty .

TBR or T Bone Racing has come out with some front and rear bumpers and even side plates for the wing and If you play hard I really think you should check them out . http://t-bone-racing.net/Mirage-Pro-c502/

Helion Criterion available at Hobby Town USA 30+ mph RTR

Well I kept seeing ads for this buggy and decided to have a look see at what this buggy is all about . 

From what can be seen from the pictures available at this time Helion didn't really set out to break the mold but this isn't a bad thing as the basic buggy design is very reliable and with the addition of a substantial amount of plastic added to the most easily damaged areas such as the front shock tower I think this looks like a good basher for the person who may think about racing .

The first thing that intrigued me was the claim of  class leading top speeds . Upon further investigation I can say it probably does have the hottest sealed can brushed motor I have ever heard of since it is a 12 turn 540 motor instead of the  12 turn 550 motor some are using these days. What this means is more RPM for your money . As of this moment the next nastiest sealed can 540's are the 15 turn motors from HPI,Arrma, and dynamite so this should be a big kick in the pant's compared to the other offerings . 

The buggy also comes with front and rear 12mm wheel hexes The specs list the wheels as Team Associated and Kyosho compatible now thats a smart move.

I'm also glad that they include ball bearing everywhere including the steering bellcrank . I can't decide if I like the Idea of the plastic slider shafts but you never know .Hopefully the diff gears are good and strong.

I like that they designed the battery strap to accommodate a 7 cell hump pack and with waterproof electronics this new buggy is keeping up with the big names as most of them have went waterproof already . 

All in all I think Helion has made shopping for your next. budget buggy a bit more interesting but I do think the price ( $189.99 ) is a bit much for what you're getting . To be blunt I think there is someone out there this buggy is perfect for but my first thought after seeing the price was that a Traxxas bandit is only  $204.99 from Hobby town. I don't really think the price is low enough for what you get in my opinion this should be priced at $150 or below to compete with the ECX Boost and undercut the Arrma ADX-10 which runs around $160. 

If I was real picky I would point out that the Redcat Racing Twister XB in brushed form can normally be bought for $119.99 with free shipping and the brushless version runs about $185.99 with free shipping but they are in a slightly different category.
