Kyosho is not greedy. They have been building World Champion buggies for years....Worth the money? Yes...for beginners.....no. I started with a Hyper 7 pro.....Moved into an Inferno MP 7.5 Kanai 2/3....No comparison...Kyosho takes the cake. hands down. Once I drove the Inferno I knew that every penny was well spent. If you are new to this and by your question I am going to assume you are I would look into an RTR Buggy...There are lots of guys out there who have many opinions on RTRs...You will definitely get an answer...
