Default RE: Help on deciding... buggy kit?

ORIGINAL: Klaus448

I fully intend on getting a Pro kit, no matter what brand I go with. It doesn't seem that they all actually list them as "Pro" kits, but I'm sure they have their own 'top of the line' model. This is one of the main reasons for me posting this thread here.

So you think going with the Ofna Hyper 7 PCR Pro kit would be a good option. Looks like NitroHouse lists it for $474.95 which doesn't seem too bad.

What are some of your thoughts on the Kyosho buggies? When I go to the Kyosho website, I get a bit confused. They don't really list prices either. I can't even seem to find a decent online dealer that lists all the different buggies with their respective prices. All NitroHouse lists is the MP777 SP-1 and MP777 SP-2. The SP-2 lists at $749.95, while the SP-1 lists at $279.95. What's the deal with that?? Is there really that much of a difference?
Your best buggy is the top dollar kits!! Kyosho SP-2, Mugen Prospec, X Ray and Jammin.
I've driven all of those and Hyper's, Sportwerks, GS and other OFNA's. When I was deciding, I went with the Kyosho but it was hard. Mugen and X Ray were my other choices. The Kyosho won out with the steering and equal (to the others) handling. I wouldn't say any one of the top 4 are better than the other 4, but those 4 were definitely better than the others I drove. Oh, by the way, I stepped up from a Hyper 7.

The SP-1 list at Nitro House is the upgrade from SP-1 to a SP-2. It's not the SP-1 kit.
