Hpi buggy?
I have raced gas boats for 4 years and loved it but time for change I need some advice on purchasing a 1/8 buggy I know I'm going to want to race but don't want to waste money on trying to find a ready to run electric buggy I was looking at the upcoming Hpi racing 1/8 trophy flux buggy I like the construction but looking for replacement parts is limited. Any other brands or models I should be looking at? I want to stay with electric any advise would be greatly appreciated
one other ? 2wd or 4wd 1/8 or 1/10 I am leaning to the 1/8 scale any pro or cons

i decided to go with the hpi vorza hp and the hpi 2wd blitz these should keep me busy

The Vorza is a wicked setup, tough in every area. Great for racing and bashing you should be happy with it. As for the Blitz don't know enough about them but HPI is a very reputable brand so should be good.

RE: Hpi buggy?
the reason the replacement parts on the trophy are limited is due to it just coming out. This happens with all new RC's for the 1st 1-2 months parts are almost non-existant. It happened with the Savage XS, Slash 4X4, Mini summit, and pretty much any new RC I can think of. Its actually one reason I usually won't touch a new model till its been out 2-3 months.

arrowshark,
Did you pick up the Vorza (looks like it given your signature)? I just got the new 2.4 GHZ one and with my maxamps 18.5V LiPo, it is mental fast and plenty tough.
Good luck!
