Obviously, I own a PBS but my non-biased opinion is that the PBS would be a better buy than the 7.5 sports RTR. Now, if you throw some of the Kanai upgrades on the 7.5 Sports, the landscape changes pretty quiclky and I would give the nod to the Kyosho. I've been running with the Kyosho and Mugen boys at the track lately and I've noticed a couple things. Either the Kyosho's and the Mugens are just way better buggies than my PBS or, my driving is "just plain ol" sucks"! I'm betting it's my driving.

I can usually keep up with them for a couple turns, but unless I make ZERO mistakes, I'm toast. I still believe the "which is better" questions is not entirely fair. If I were to give one of the Kyosho guys my PBS and I were to drive his, he'd still beat the crap out of me, plain and simple. Go with what you like and learn to drive it. If you can do that, it doesn't matter if the guy next to you spent 2000,00 on his ride. If he can't drive it, you'll win every time.
