Default Ofna Buggies! Help!

Hello,

Im looking to pickup my 4th car <Have a Nitro MT, Ofna Z10<for sale> XXX-S Graphite, Micro RS4> and i want it to be a buggy, heard the OFNA's are the best. I was looking at the various kits, LX, MBX pro, the hyper 7, and i forget the other. I have decent knowledge of R/C, but for the life of me i cant figure out what makes them all different! Im mostly a basher, not a racer, love to do insane jumps and crazy manuvers. <Breaking stuff is fun!> and im on a budget, but that can be extended if it's worth the money. If anyone can give me a quick list of pro's and con's and features id appreciate it!

THANKS in advance!

If you want a basher on a budget, go with the Ultra MBX Pro. At 330.00 RTR, it's a great deal. If you want a dual duty buggy, look at the Hyper 7 PBS! It will bash with the best of them and it's also right at home on the track. Another one that I would give some serious consideration to is the new 9.5 Violator. It's built with bashing in mind and it's around the same price as the PBS.

Yep they've dragged this right out of the RCU dungeons. The LX is and always was a pille of crap that never lent itself to racing or bashing. There's better buggies for less cash. Look at the Hyper 7 TQ .28.

why is everyone so hard on the LX buggies?simply swap out the kingpin knucles for C-hubs and upgrade the steering servo and you got a good solid buggy. i do agree with it not being a racer,but it is a very good basher
