We've been selling Redcat since 2005 and the best 1/8th scale they have by far is the hurricane. If you are gonna go 1/8th buggy nitro the hurricane is the way to go, it's well put together and very beefy. I used to run one back a year or so ago and ran like a champ and the monsoon makes a good 1/8th truggy. All the rest are wanna be 1/8th scales. The ultra lites are not half as durable and are no competition for any kind of racing at all. Great bashers, but bad trackers.
