I had this buggy christmass.Its a great buggy and is REALLY durable. I have had a few problems with the .21 engine but there sorted now.. the clutch blew up and i blew a one way bearing. i recomend a start box if you get the car becuase the roto start thing is crap and the pull start will break... its a hard engine to turn over. I bash it on my woods track almost every day and have had no problems other than the other day i landed on one wheel from a 6-7 ft drop... so the steering knuckle broke but im to blaim. Its fast around the track and always takes my friends revo on cornering. It flies through the air once tuned properly and makes a really nice scream as it powers down the road. I havent seen a pbs and dont know much about them but i think there more durable so thats a good thing... and as for the ravenger i dont no anything. So the hyper 7 is great and im going to be racing it as soon as my local (ish) track is finnished. Hoped this helpes... and if you get the tq i would get the CNC steering knuckles and a good battery.
I probably spelled loads of thing wrong sorry but i cant be botherd to read throught the post :P lol

Oh, and the hyper 9 is coming soon... that looks great!
