The only one I am considering is the Kyosho 09! Do belive it has the biggest engine so far.

MT RC

The KMI 09 is the Kyosho Mini Inferno, just an abbreviation for the long name

Just because "it has a bigger engine" doesn't always maker it better just compare the 3 buggies and see what they offer.......

I think the Team VTX was the best deal FULL ALLOY, 2 speed transmission, it is already hopped up......Just my opinion... Just because"it doesn't has a BIG engine" doesn't make it bad , but by the time you get done upgrading the other above too make them bulletproof. For 249.00 I think it is a Great truggy

The Rascal is the toughest of them all. I have handled them all, own a few, and nothing comes close to the rascal. Have you seen the chassis plate? Over-done is an understatement. The arms, bulkheads and driveline are 1/10 scale strength in a 1/16 scale size. They are beefy, but with such a small size the extra weight actually helps. There are ones for less money, but you get what you pay for.

I like what I hear about the Trinity Next. It is also cheaper than the rest of them, for those of us on a budget.

i like the rascal

Rascal LOOKS OK. but its 2wd [:-] and with that large engine dont plan on racing it./ its good for a basher but thats it. if you noticed on the 1/16 models out most have large enough chassis to upgrade motors if you want to...
