lookin for a good basher buggy?

[OFNA buggy basher]

Hey all im was just searchin the web and im lookin for a really good basher buggy with good high speeds? Im farely new to 1/8 scale buggys (and this forum) i currently own a Cen Mt2 but am looking for more speed and durability. Ive found the Ofna Ultra Lx Comp and am woundering everyones thoughts on it?

[kyosho138]

id look at GS storm... they got a new one commin out and its looks very durable

[CorradoPsi]

yup, GS Storm, Sportwerks Mayhem, and Ofna Hyper 7 RTR, are what id consider great bashing buggies with great durability, and raceworthy if you should ever get the itch.

How much does all three of those buggys top out at cuz ive seen a stock ofna ultra comp hit 56mph! The hyper7 is supposably not as durable as the ultra comp. Im looking for a quick high end basher that reaches top speed rather quickly. Is there a way to make the ultra comp steer like the hyper? cuz the ball stearing is muchbetter than the knucles.

[UltegraSTI]

reaches top speed quickly, but ur lookin at top mph. complete opposites.

What mill was run on this buggy, I don't see that top end speed happening with a stock Ofna buggy (unless maybe they were running a 2 speed tranny).
I run a Hyper 7 PBS with WS7 2 mill and it would be hard pressed to hit that top end. Were do you plan to run this buggy if it is in the dirt with some bumps and such you would not be able to use all of that top end any way.

Ya i plan on running it on a bumpy dirt surface and just all around bashing. I thikn im gonna order it. Its such a low price and my lhs carrys all the parts. unless you can tell me a better buggy for the 300 dollar range i think ofnas gonna have my buisness.

For $300.00 you can't go wrong and you can always hop up and do a mill swap later if need be. I would do the hyper 7 pbs or pcr personally, but that would boost your bugget up a fair bit.

[UltegraSTI]

the money u spend later 2 keep that ultra comp goin will put u in hyper territory. bite the bullet now and end up w/a better piece

Whats the difference between the pcr and pbs plus what do the hypers have that the comp doesnt? also i dont think im ready to jump from 280 all the way to 500. also can you send me some links on the lowest price you have seen on the hyper. i just dont see the advantage of the extra $220? thanks alot you guys have been a real help.

[Ryhton]

The hypers hold up a lot better, the pbs and pcr are very close to the same buggy. The Pcr is a Pbs with the Paul Coleman upgrades, lay down servos and the front and rear diffs may be diffrent but other than that they hold up the same. I have not priced them lately but I can do some checking. You may want to check the for sale forum there was some used ones for sale awhile ago.

[OFNA buggy basher]

id rather have a new buggy. I dont really get used things ecpecially nitro. so your saying you would get the hyper because its more durrable and has the pivoit ball sterring or what i still dont see the big adavantage . i hope i can get a brand new one around 430 then that would seal the deal. I no that wouldent happen in a million uears but still. Do the both come with a starter box or electric start. Dont forget about those links. Thanks again for all your time.

[Ryhton]

well I found this pbs at a good price, and yes you would need a starter box, the hyper is a tight mill.

hyper pbs

[OFNA buggy basher]

which hyper are you talking about the pbs? plus it looks like a starter box comes with it and i heard to take the plug out and crank it over to loosen it up. will that work? if your talking about the pbs its only 409?!? thats a great price. i hope that i can talk my parents into it. plus isnt the engine smaller i dont get that at all the hyper has a 21 but the ultra comp has a 26?
