I think you should buy the car you like yourself a lot
I bought a xb8 and am being very pleased indeed also because I got it for a good price, but sometimes I think, it's so perfect
and I regret a mbx5, I just love the frontsuspension and I could have bought more of those pleasing upgrades like a one-piece motormount or metal rear uprights
now there is the TTR s3 with all his special items and his revolutionairy chassis, who is wathering my mouth, if I could just mount one together..
so I suggest you think about what do you really want, which car to you really love, and can you get spare parts for it quick enough and ofcourse ,last but not the least, about your budget, don't go to far over it !!

IF you're trying to save a few pennies you could get an Inferno MP7.5. YOu can get em' at tower for 350$, or you could step up and get the MP777 for 400$ I like how my MP7.5 handles, very nice. I reccomend it. Its a very good value for the $$$.

pissant, how about a link.
Me personally, I would go with the 777 in the regular format. But racers edge chassis braces, and then shell out the bucks for universals all the way around. There really arnt't that many huge differences between the special one and the regular 777 to warrant the extra money they ask for it.
Unless someone can list some things I'm over looking.
Id go with what you can get parts for locally. That should be a big factor.

I have the k3, and love that my only maintenance is cleaning and clutches. The shocks stay smooth for months at a time, and I've never had a diff prorblem with it.
The only thing I wish I could get out of it is more sterring. This is where the 777 comes in.
I think if I where to buy another buggy, and could get some parts support, it woudl have to be the x-ray.

The XB8 is an awesome kit and I would deffinately recommend it, it is pricey though. I also have a couple of Storms that I like a lot but are not even close to as nice as my XB8 but for the money they are good buggies for me. I would totally agree with husky and say you get what you pay for, so it all comes down to what you want to spend.

This is my first 1/8 scale bug (been in RC for 10+yrs) and I wanted to be differant and have a top of the line bug, so I got the XB8! SO easy and nice to build and has all the hop ups already on it. I have not even fired it up yet cause its 10 degrees and snowing???
I was going to get the X5 until I saw the XB8---plus deciding not to go mainstream with everyone else.
Parts are going to be everywhere stateside---Stormer, ace-hobbys and plenty more will follow so parts are not going to be a problem ever! The cheapest place for XB8 parts is: RC-mushroom.com way cheap...
