Criss is correct, it wont take a vote. I will say though the Jammin would be my first choice with the PCR a close second. I wouldnt even touch the others.

Jammin and Hyper7 are good buggies, but take a good look at the Hot Bodies Lightning2 - it really is very very good straight out of the box. And I have Ofna's myself...

Actually the Mayhem has the best motor and radio of any RTR but it is truly one of the worst handling buggies out of the box. You can do some adjustments to make it better but even then it just dosnt drive as well as a Jammin or Hyper 7 will out of the box.

Yeah its me.

I read some of your post about your new motor compared to the OS and matched up the screen name to you. It wasnt hard since your one of the few that has figured out a little less power actually makes faster laps! Slow is Fast!!!

Eerrmmm GS Racing will be releasing a new rtr buggy apart from the avenger!. It looks sweet! Soory i can't post the pics as it's pending a official release date and i cannot endulge more than i have to... All i can say it will be a Mayhem. Mp .7.5 and X1 contender! XB8 owners beware!

Carbon fiber radio tray.2 chamber pipe New .21 Racing motor. Pivot Balls .etc. More to list but i can't.[:@]

You blew your cover when you called me Criss.
How's that XB8 coming? Can't wait to see it.

I agree with that - laydown servo is a pain in the a..

But if he takes the poll as guiding line to what he should buy, then it would be a disadvantage to the Hyper if there was both the PCR and the PBS.
