Status: offline 		Im looking at getting into nitro. I have tuned a few 3.3s and i think i can handle it.

Im looking at getting one of these two buggies. But my question is which?
Im looking just to bash and maybe tool around on a track every so often.

Im wanting the best engine and easiest to tune engine.. which should i go with?

Both i can get parts for (i work at hobbytownusa).

Status: offline 		It's a tossup.  Either one is fine.

The Hyper has a 135cc tank and the LX2 has a 145cc gas tank.  Strictly  speaking, both are illegal for racing.  The LX2 has larger shocks.  Engines are probably about equal, although I'd give the nod to the LX2.

Status: offline 		I would go for either too. Both are great entry level buggies. The Hyper 7 has(had?) more mods available; in its heyday, it was THE 1/8 buggy and it has been to 1/8 worlds a time or two, so you can find more mods for it, though most will only be found on ebay used.

are both engines easy to tune?

if the lx uses a force engine it will be slightly easier to tune, however all the engines OFNA has RTR on thier 1/8 stuff is pretty reliable.
