whats better losi 810 or hyper 7
Hi im thinking of getting a 1/8 scale buggy ,i live in australia and i dont want to race i just want to have a bit of fun with it ,the 2 local hobby shops are the distributors for hobao and the other for losi.any way i was thinking of getting either the losi 810 or the hobao hyper 7 and probaly a bump box down the track.any way parts will be easy for the hyper but not sure about the 810,I like the look of both of them but not sure of which 1 to get just yet and theres only $15 difference between the both, any replyswould be appreciated on which buggy would go better and which 1 would be stronger and what there pull starters are like thanks.

I have no experience of the Losi.
The Hyper I can recommend as I have 2 of them and think they are the toughest RC I have ever owned. Maybe not up to todays race standards..but ideal for fun or starting racing with.
Pull starts do not really vary in quality brand to brand and in general it is user error that makes them fail, short sharp pulls are the ticket.
No doubt both cars have their weak points, with the Hyper it would be the front knuckles and the servos.
Regarding the 2.4 ghz radio, in the UK the Hyper7 is now available with it. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobao-hy...products/30403

That engine will not be all that fast and they don't get very good gas mileage. But if this is your first time racing, none of that matters. You'll be having too much fun to care. And more importantly, you'll need to learn how to get around the track smoothly before speed even becomes a factor.
