1st buggy

[myplanb31]

im looking for a buggy that is durable and fast. im looking to spend between $400 and $550 roughly. can you guys help me out?

[MotoGod]

$400 - $550 gives you a pretty big range of buggy selections ;-) What are you lookin to do with it? Bash? Race? Do you want a Kit or RTR? New or Used?

I read GREAT things about the Kyosho Inferno 7.5 Sport 4 in this months RCA. Supposed to be under $400. It's the new version of this one: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...eady-Set-Buggy

The Losi 8ight is hard to beat these days as well for the price.

im looking to race it. i would like an RTR. and definatly new

[MotoGod]

The Losi 8ight RTR is a pretty kick butt option, but @ $100 more than your budget ($650 at my LHS). It does include a starter box and a Spektrum DX3S Radio setup though....which is AWESOME for racing. Race ready out of the box, or so they say.

How is the Losi 8ight 1.0? It is $544.99 on some website

[MotoGod]

It's good, but it comes as a roller I believe.... Pretty sure the 1.0 RTR wasn't all that great. I have heard good things about the 2.0 RTR though. I have yet to drive either....but for the extra $100 for the 2.0...the DX3S and Bump Box are worth it IMHO.

ok, im gonna go see if they have it at my LHS this week and see what it will cost

[myplanb31]

any other sugestions out there?

For $265 you can get a new Caster Fusion EX-1 roller. It is a very durable fast ELECTRIC buggy. Drop the Castle Creations Mamba Monster Max 2650 KV system in it with two 2S lipo packs (5000mah or greater and at least 20C discharge) and you are ready to rip.

I got a losi 8 rtr with the starter box and the specktrum.Ran .5 gallon through it so far and it rips.I also ordered my son a ofna hyper 7 black which should be here today.Curios to see the difference in the $700 buggy and the $ 280 buggy....

[myplanb31]

yea, can you let me know the difference between the performance of the hyper 7 and the 8ight.

[MotoGod]

Hyper 7 Black is actually a very good RTR Buggy as well from what I have heard.

[JCMINIS]

Got the hyper 7 in, nice looking buggy for the price, fit and finish arent as good as I would like but again the price point I can live with it.I will have to build a true battery box for it,the way it comes the batteries just kinda set out in the open with a hold down cap.I did one tank for break in so im uncertain at this point on performance,couple more tanks easy and I will start leaning it out.
I will check back in in a couple days when it quits raining and can really run it.
