Yeah, definitely true what others have said. Jumping into the hobby with a $800 kit is ridiculous, so it's good to start off with a cheaper kit, or an RTR. Two respectable buggies would be the CEN Matrix R2 rtr and the Hyper TQ black, like focus printing said. Even after you think you have mastered buggy racing, it's still not worth throwing $1000s into unless you're really serious and have lots of money to burn.
