Non of the ofna RTRs are worth getting. The electronics need to be upgrades straight out of the box which will be atleast another $80+. The engine will last a little while but you will replace it shortly so thats anywhere between $130-200.

I can't belive I'm going to say this [:@] but sense Cen seemed to work out all of the bugs with their RTR I'd go with the cen matrix. Its deffinatly a fast buggy just like it was when it first came out but the durability and engine problems seem to be fixed now so its deffinatly worth buying. The electronics are also pretty decent.

I'd still go with the turmoil RTR over the matrix but it will cost you $550.

I'd still probably take the hyper 8 over all of them. $400 for an 80% build kit then you put your engine, electronics, and starterbox (if you don't have one) in but you will never need to upgrade one single thing on this buggy.
