woah, thats two different classes. Hurricane is the one you want to look at. Probably the xp too because it has an XP instead of that terrible Infinity.

either way, they are two completely different scaled buggies. Unfair comparison. 1/8 will walk all over it.

it doesn't matter which one is faster, they are 2 different sized buggies. that big block will walk all over you. that syclone has NOTHING on a 1/8 vehicle.

Doesn't matter...The bigger engine in the bigger scale is faster...Although I have no experience with the 1/8th scale, I didn't think there was a huge overall performance difference from the ads I've seen...The 1/8 scale is bigger and heavier, but they have bigger engines, more power ability, stronger parts, some better parts just due to space...but being bigger, it may be harder to find room to run it...

There are alot of opinions on which type,kind, make and model to buy. That being said the two speed trans is nice. And yes you will go faster, but you will break parts faster too. So, bottom line its your call. What are your needs and wants. Figure that out and buy the one that more suits you. The huricane is a good choice, make sure you buy the XP or the pro. Its bigger, but you know what they say about that

1/8 scale buggy will be faster. 2 speed tranny doesn't always mean more speed Just more things to go wrong on an off road vehicle.
