I would go with the Ultra MBX Pro. The radio is iffy but it's a better buggy.

if i put an hyper 21 8 port in the r2 would it be better for racing?
is the pro's chassis and design better than the r2's?

Just from looking and comparing - I would say MBX Pro RTR would be the better deal.

I had an MBX R2 before I sold it and got a Hyper 7, I upgraded some parts on the R2 including custom 4.1mm thick shock towers from jeepurzs (look on ebay), LX kickup chassis (as little as $9 on ebay), LX front chassis brace and steering block also cheap and this makes a kick butt combo with the full PBS setup. I used a Hyper 21 at first but went with the GS Racing 21B01 and liked the car very much, not a single piece broke on the car the whole time I owned it but a customer that tried my car in the LHS smashed it into the wall and busted alot of parts. At least he bought it.
