Am thinking of purchasing a buggy for my grandson and would like a no holds barred description of the Ultra LX2 nitro buggy versus the Hyper 7 TQ, as to which is the better unit. Thanks.

Hyper7- tough, cheap and plentiful spares/hop ups, heavy (compared to more modern cars), virtually unchanged for years, the TQ has poor servos (TQ2 has better), 2 possible engines (Macstar.28 and Hyper.21) and I have owned a few of each...reliable with resonable performance and easy tuning.
It is not a race winner these days by any means but as a first race buggy or just for hacking around the feild it is the ideal choice in my mind....and I have and will always recommend it to anyone, old or new to the hobby.

UltraLx- sorry never had one but from what I have read it is a similar machine to the Hyper.

Right now through months end the Hyper 7 is available for $269.99 thru Nitro House. That is as cheep as I have ever seen it..........

I dont know if NitroHouse ships to Jamaca though......man.

I have the ultra LX2 and I run it all the time. I treat it rough but it just keeps going. The force 28 engine makes good power and has been easy to tune. As with the Hyper 7 you need to change the servos right away with something else. The Ultra LX2 parts are dirt cheap
on ebay.

Just to keep you guys updated as I got the Ultra LX2 buggy and it's been a real hit with the boys. I replaced the el cheapo steering and throttle servos which lasted no time with some Solar A109's which are performing great, so far going through 2 gals of fuel and numerous bangs and crashes, one of which was so severe it broke the RH front knuckle and mounting bracket.

Thanks for the update, sounds like you are having fun.
