I would head over to a local track so you can see one scoot first hand, and you can look at the differences up close, If there is an 1/8th scale buggy track in your area, someone is bound to have one of each, I have a small track here and I see a little of everything, most cars are Hyper 7s though, cheaper than Kyosho and Mugen and they are more than enough for the average Joe Racer. Hyper 7 Pro if you can find one then an RB motor!! WS7II. Looks like the Picco P3 has a little bit of power as well.
i do everyone runs Ofnas and they have 2 mugen mbx-5 and 2 mbx4's!
