sand - dirt and gravel -- have you thought about a good truck like the HPI Savage?
Sounds like you are doing your homework. Do you have a local hobby shop? If so what do they stock? If you are looking at ofna their top of the line buggy is a kit and it is a good buggy. I have a Kyosho and think it is great and parts are getting easier to get. You are correct in that Tower no longer carries the kyosho line. Have you checked out Nitro House for kits?
HPI? Well sorta, that 4.6SS kit looks pretty cool, however I'm already in that boat. I have a pretty modded Tmaxx, and I don't really plan on getting rid of it as of just yet. I kinda want to see how I like the whole buggy thing. From everything I've read and seen, a buggy would suit me fine.
No local hobby shop. Well.... 1.5hrs away is the closest one, and they already kinda burned their bridge with me
I'm not a racer or anything, so internet orders is fine with me. I usually end up with quite a few spares of the 'broken often' parts anyway.
Do you have a specific model of Ofna for their top of the line buggy? Are you speaking of that "Jammin" buggy? I could have sworn they were asking an arm and a leg for that buggy. I will have to research it more.
So you say the Kyosho parts are becomming easier to find. That is usually something that happens a short while after a new model of something is released. I was under the impression (mainly because of Tower dropping the line) that the Kyosho buggies were a bit older. Am I off base here? I really liked what I saw with the Kyosho stuff.
