hi, i have been looking into buggies for quite some time. I have a ST and a MT with about 5 years experience so i guess im not really a "newbie". i want one because i hear they can really fly. Nitro, not electric pleez.

1.) How are they better than monster trucks?

2.) Top 3 RTR's to look into, (well known and parts availabillity.)

I have been leaning towards the ofna hyper 7 RTR. is it pretty good for bashing/some racing?

1 they are way stronger than a MT ive seen mine go end over end down a hill and take large jumps and most times it was just a few scatches.

2 any of the OFNA rtr are good if u can wait for a while the new XRAY XB8R is coming out and it lokks as though it will be really good. I have the original XB8 and it is a top notch buggy

ya i think i'll get the hyper 7. i looked at that XRAY and it looks a little much for me being a noob to buggies and all.

i just got a hyper 7 and they seem very solid. havent been able to get it running well enough to test it hough[:@]

just to let u know i am a noob and have the XB8 it wasnt hard to build and once built it no different than a rtr except better parts quality

Hey, i just bought a Hot Bodies lightning 2 rr which is a 1/8 buggy.
It comes with a .26 engine which is super super fast!
It depends what you want it for really?
The lightning 2 is truly a BASHERS car, its solid and when i mean solid i mean SOLID!!!!
Go to this link and read there review on it, They put this car through its paces(56ft jumps and landing on 1 wheel) and couldnt break a single thing on it!

I love my car, I stepped up from a .15 thunder tiger DT10 stadium truck to this and ill never go back.
Have a read about it mate but i promise you it wont let you dowm.
Let me know what you think?

the XB8R is available at Ashford Hobby -part#xra350100 $489.95
sweet deal for a xb8

i think im gunna get the Ofna 9.5 violator. any good?

wow seems funny its there already and xray doesent have much info on its website about it not even release date i think that that is a wrong listing or they have ity listed but not avaliable
