i have had some excellent experiences racing 1/10 scale electric buggies several years back. i was the local champ. 1/10 scale nitro trucks were becoming popular at that time, but i never saw a 1/8 scale buggy. i had always perceived the 1/8 scale buggies to be hugely expensive. out of the blue, just yesterday, i purchased the hyper 7 pbs rtr. i read hundreds of threads on the ofna website, as well as this site. everyone raves about the buggy. I have very little experience with nitro anything. i purchased a high torque servo, and futaba fm radio to compliment the buggy. the buggy was cheap enough, $440 through ace hobbies, is this thing entry,entry level, or is it ready to be raced?
