Default duratrax 835b vs. ofna ultra lx2

Hi. I'm wanting to buy a 1/8 nitro rtr buggy and have been looking at the duratrax 835b and ofna ultra lx2. Both are in the price range I'm looking for and seem like good buggies. I just want some info about them. What buggy is right for ne. I don't race or run on tracks.....just bash in parking lots and in the yard on ramps and such. Looking for something fast and tough. Any info is appreciated.

I am not familiar with either buggy you have in your list.....but suggest you also have a look at the Hyper 7 as it fits your needs.

i did check out the hyper 7. looks like a great car also. thanks for the reply. i still would like some info on the duratrax. i cant seem to find much info on durability and available parts. that might be a bad thing. any info on the 2 buggies would be a big help.

Go look at the review of it on Ultimatercnetwork on youtube. Great review and serious bashing and parts info.

Hi
I owned a duratrax raze buggies and the duratrax St truggy, and still had fun !
I owned 2 ofna buggies before. 1 was the .21 picco buggy & the hyper , both were fun !
The hyper 7 that I had never broke a part.
I like the ofna engines better then duratax.
Lol, I just received my new hyper 7 black edition last week and still have broken it in yet.
My brothers buggy came in the mail to do !!
I love hyper 7s

the shock shaft are on the weak side and it seems like getting parts for the duratrax is nearly impossible.
