I know other make better buggys but my lhs has ofna and gets parts quick and easy. Which hyper is the best to get and why. also, i just saw on ofna's site a 2speed for the hypers. what are the pros and cons of this.

The best racing RTR is the Hyper 7 PCR the best racing kit is the PCR Pro. Pros of the 2 speed is that it will make you go faster. Cons are(beside having to install it) if you jump alot and your arn't that good at making mid air adjustments then it can shift and it will flip and cause some broken parts.

i don't think the pro includes the 2 speed, as it is new and costs about 100 bucks, also a 2 speed is not good for racing, especially on short tracks... The pbs is practially the same as the pcr, besided the lay down servo kit, you may get the pbs cheaper than the pcr..

I have come to the conclusion that the standard PBS RTR is either discontinued or on its way out. I did plenty on research on 1/8 buggys before I bought my PBS/PCR a couple of weeks ago. I couldnt find a regular PBS anywhere, except on Towers website, which for whatever reason, is way more expensive than the PCR. All the local LHS's had the PCR, not to mention ebay has a bunch of them on there also. Either way, for the price, they just cant be beat. I paid $419 at my LHS for it. The reason I believe the standard PBS is on its way out is because they have taken the PBS box and stuck a PCR sticker on it. The box still advertises the car as having a purple headed/non pullstart engine. The only difference I can tell is the added laydown servo kit (in a bag) and a black engine head with a plastic purple cover, instead of the purple anodized one. The Hyper 21 engine on the PCR also has a pull start because the lame starter box wont turn over the new engine. Besides those two things, I believe they are the same cars. The PCR is a great bargin!
BTW, the two speed isnt included in any kits, RTR or Pro.

if you really want a racer go with the Hyper 7 pro with whatever engine and servos you need (all the 1/8 scale buggys have BAD servos).

I'm getting the a pcr. What are their differences between the rtr and pro beside whats included with the rtr? Is the hyper a worth while engine or will i be want to replace it?

the engine is very powerful and has good topend but after your skills improve you will want to upgrade but it will move the buggy along close to 50mph (48)

but you will want to upgrade the stering servo

what is the differecnce between the torsen vs spider set up. is pbs or c-hub better?
