The Ofna PCR, or PBS are good I have 2 PBS's and beat the hell out of them, my buddy zandor has the PCR and he does the same with his. All comes down to how much you want to spend.

I too, have an X-Terminator, and already on the first day I've beat the piss out of it. I was testing the handeling trying to turn into my drive way as fast as I could and the tires lost grip and it flew into a rock very fast. Damage: a scratch on the bumper. Very powerful engine aswell. Great price too. The list goes on...

Happy

Buy the Hyper PCR!!....It'll be the best buggy u'll ever get...nothing breaks, just lock tight the nuts and bolts and u'll be set for life almost haha...The part support is great, u will never break any, but if u do need some, ofna will always carry the part u need..unlike some buggy brands that stop making them.....good luck..and u'll be very happy!

I have been looking at the Hyper PBS RTR that comes with the starter box and it looks like pretty good what are the main differances with the PBS and the PCR.

The pbs and pcr are good bashing buggies. But if you want to spend less then that and get just about the same quality go for the hb lightning pro. I have the lightning rr rtr and i have beat it up and only have broke the wing and cracked the body and i know that the pro is even more reilible then the rr.....Nick

the only difference between the pcr and the pbs is that the pcr has lay-down servo's, which most people don't have any use for.

It also doesn't help that i dont have a credit card yet, the store that I live closest to has the XTM x-terminator would this be a good second choice.
