And then there were 4. Based on all of your comments, I've eliminated a few from my choices. I did so because I'm a bit hard on the throttle and brake, want a stable and good handling car (possibly even forgiving), and need something that'll be durable. Also, I don't want a car that'll be too much of a pain to keep in the running (I got tired of DNFs racing touring cars). I am aware that some of all that will be part of what type of setup I put on the car, but it does help to have a good platform to start with.

The buggies I've narrowed it down to are:
-Associated RC8B Factory Team
-Mugen MBX6 (Both)
-O'Donnell Z01B-SG

What are the differences between the standard MBX6 and the M-Spec? As far as I can tell, they are the same buggy. However, the M-Spec is a roller, while the standard is a kit. If that's the only difference, I'd prefer the kit.

K_B,
I checked out that Associated servo, and WOW!!! I've never seen a servo with those kinds of specs under $100. I would even put that servo in my .50 size helicopter. Thanks for the tip on that. BTW, next time you're at Chilcoot Charlie's, have a drink for me. I bet ya'll got plenty of weather for that right about now. Then again, you're not in Fairbanks. LOL. Good times, good memories!!!
