Default Hyper 7 pbs or hyper 7 sport

I'm about to get a new buggy and have choosen to get a hyper 7 my question is ,is the the pbs £100 better than the sport.
i alreadt have an 8 port motor so i dont need the engine from the pbs or the starter box
also i have been told by the guy who runs the model shop at my at our track that the pbs suspension arms are weaker than the c hub
suspension (he claims the pivot balls snap quite easily)
so which is best to go for PBS at £360 or sport for £260(inc all radio gear) im selling my radio gear with my old buggy.

pbs is not weak, the PBS wont snap, but may bend... if you go head on with the fence.

but each ball is like $3USD each to replace.... you actually want some parts to bend, to absord the impact otherwise other parts will bend. like the chasis and supsension pins

anyway the pivot balls are cheap and pretty easy to change.


.. having said that i changed over the CHUB front to try get more steering.
