I want to live in the US!!

I just priced a Hyper 7 Sport and it's going to cost me approx. 750.00 tax in. Can I come live with you guys?? Why couldn't I buy the Ofna LX Comp and do whatever hopups are necessary to make it a better racer??

I thought I linked this for you already. Anyhow, you can upgrade a lot of the Ultra XL Comp parts, but based upon the exchange rates, it's gonna cost you!!!

Jeez, you should give him a Hyper if he hooks you up with that. That would be one hell of a trade. And if she cooks good enough, and cleans up after, then you may owe him a the whole HoBao factory.

Sad though that the only reason you want to move to paradise on earth (U.S.) is for a cheaper R/C kit.

The LX Comp is an ok beginner car. I found the rear chassis brace to be a weakness in the design, because it allows enough chassis flex to put alot of wear and tear on the drivetrain. That is something you can't upgrade. Plus the design itself is for the most part, over a decade old (other than a revised radio plate). Can't you just buy a Hyper from tower or something and have them ship it? I would think even with international shipping it should come in well below $750.00.

Do you guys know it's the year 2006??

Now, the guys cook, and clean. Sorry. Nice rack- you mean for baking cookies? Actually, it's the guys that have to have a nice rack.But the shed idea sounds great.
Actually, we have it good here even though we're taxed to death. We don't pay for anything health related. We don't pay for drugs, surgeries, tests, anything. So, in the grand scheme of things it's worth it, since I've had about 4 surgeries. I'd be bankrupt by now if it wasn't for our health sys. I don't know how you guys manage?

One word down here...insurance. If you don't have it, you'd better move to Candida!! My mom has had her colen removed(Long story, don't ask), and for a 10 day stay in the hospital was 81 GRAND!! Our insurance has by far, paid for itself. Anyways, I have the XL Comp, and it's a good beginner. Its pretty fast once it's broken in, and it holds up pretty well agenst most crashes. The only problem I've had so far is the front shock tower, but that was my own stupidity. It's upgradable and Paul Colman Racing makes some nice Aluminum parts for it. The only downside is it IS discontinued, so in about 3 or 4 years, manufacturers will stop making parts for it, but by then I'll have something else. Anyways, you can't go wrong with the XL Comp. There are alot better buggies out there, but as far as what I'm asking out of my buggy, it suits me perfectly(Backyard messing around pretty much!)!

uhh, you are joking about the men have a nice rack for cookies right. he didnt mean that.

That is cool with the free health care. But what if you dont have any problems you are taxed and you dont have any thing to offset the balence of that.

Well if you have a good job and are safe you will get bye. but my state has No sales tax. so I dont get taxed. plus our hobbies are cheaper

Here again, do a little research! Canada does not pay health insurance they pay taxes and the govt takes care of them.


you can't say your buggy holds up pretty well. You've had it for a week! Please hugo if you plan to race do not get a lx comp. Get yourslef a hyper series buggy. It may be discontiued but ofna keeps parts for their stuff for a long time.
