Default First RC Buggy

I'm looking for a buggy that I can play around with in the yard (2 acres) on the farm etc. I'm not going to race at all, this is just another toy. Is the hyper 7 any good. Does anyone else have any suggestions?? I currently fly RC so I have the typical Air stuff. Will my 9303 work for surface or is it air only??

Thanks for the help,

J

Where is the best place to pick one up?? I looks like everything is included. (radio, servos, car, etc) Will the omega 15% that I use for my planes work in the car??

what oil content is in your airplane fuel?

Id say it probably wont be suitable for the hyper 7, i know in the instruction manual of the hyper 8 it specifically states that the warranty will be voided if you use airplane fuel in the car.

The OFNA Picco edition is a great buggy for short money too. It's a very good chassis with a great engine. Hard to beat for around $320.

Yes you can use Omega in the cars.

There's a guy on here that uses 0% nitro and 20% oil in his cars and does just fine. You don't need all that oil but it shouldn't hurt anything. I have a gallon of Coolpower 15% I'm going to use in my cars once my Sidewinder is all used up.
