Mayhem....
I'm about to put in my order for a mayhem RTR buggy, but before i do i want to make sure i'm buying the best. So, is there any other rtr buggy better than this one? (Please give non-biased and non-fanboy answers).

RE: Mayhem....
To be perfectly honest, I would suggest you save up just a bit more money and get an MBX-5 pro spec or the 777 sp2. In the end, you will be much happier. I also love my TTR S3, I think its darn near as good as the Mugen and the Kyosho, but it's what I own and I don't want to seem like a fanboy.

RE: Mayhem....
only problem is the kit costs as much as the entire rtr. i say buy it, when you have a good amount of experience, you can buy a better kit, and you will have good radio and servos to drop into ur new kit. and you don't have to upgrade them. awesome, huh?

) so only really intense bashings. So i really don't need something that is designed for the track only.

RE: Mayhem....
I would get the Hyper 7 TQ Sport, the US version is a kit but once you get all the stuff in it it will cost the same if not more as it is to get a RTR and put all that upgraded stuff in it just to make it function correctly and the hyper will be a way better buggy.
Here's what I have:
Hyper 7 TQ Sport kit $239 RB S7 $289 Airtronics MX-3 $100 Hitech mg645 $40 proline crime fighters $60 =$729
Here's what I had
Ultra LX Comp RTR $279 " " " " " " " " =$829
The Hyper 7 is way better than the Ultra LX Comp by far, and I'm sure it is that way with the mayhem buggy, I have not heard good things about parts support with the mayhem either. I don't think you'll have a good experience with the mayhem.
Just my two cents.

Well if your track doesnt let you have anything over .18 then get other people into 1/8 scale so you can race.

RE: Mayhem....
There isn't a simple answer to the question about which is the best rtr. It all depends upon what you're going to use it for and what you yourself prefer.
If you're not racing, then the Mayhem is a good rtr, but if you want to race then get a Jammin.
But why don't you want a kit?

because i'm afraid i'd never get around to do anything with it. School starts monday and football starts wednesday, so there is no way i would be able to do it during the week. I just want a good quality RTR so i can just fire it up and take off right out of the box.

I'm sure that you will not be disappointed if you take the Mayhem. It seems that nearly everybody who has one is happy about it. And Rustler is right, it has good quality stuff overall and doesn't need a lot of upgrading from the beginning.

RE: Mayhem....
i got a mayhem, its been great but i dont know about the 100's of ofna buggies so i dont really know how it compares. Buggies are made for the track, if you cant use it for that i would suggest a truck, they are MUCH more fun to bash in my opinion. But on the other hand buggies are awsome at the track! If you end up going the truck rought get the savage!
