uhh..well if your comparing the kyosho's and thundertiger, then you can do better than a mayhem, i have nothing against the mayhem and i think its an awesome buggy and is probably the best rtr buggy...but it cant really compete with other top buggies..actually it can, its all in the driver

go with either a mugen, kyosho, xray, ofna, jammin, or thundertiger


i just purchased another mp 777 because i freakin love'em....
personally i would go with a kyosho or mugen

TTR S3 as the price of the car and spares for it, cant really be beaten.

The main thing is to find out what you can easily get spares for.

Why do you include the Mayhem in the list? I think that you should look at the Mugen instead.
The 777sp2 or sp1, Mugen mbx5 (Prospec), TTR s3, Jammin and Xray are all topclass buggies and it's down to personal preference and parts availability which is best.

i chose the ttr s3 cause it was the only pro level kit my LHS had at the time and must say im very pleased with it corners nice and jumps well and will square up very nice. at the time i was looking for the 777 but nobody could get parts for kyosho at the time cause of their recent move. ive driven my buddies 777 and like it alot but im 100% satisfied with my ttr

SP2. Why not? Kyosho has the most IFMARs when it comes to 1/8 scale buggy.

Go Xray or Jammin , What you want is something lightweight and strong. MBX5 Prospec is deliscious. Then you need a decent powerlpant and then you need to learn how to drive (not assuming you cant) . Really in the end it boils down to Driver, Setup and engine in that order. Im Rambling again .. Lol

I have a decent radio right now... JR XS3 is good enough... and for a powerplant.. i already have a VZ-B Vspec which is a great engine... just need a buggy to go with that other than my mayhem...

I put mayhem in the list because it is a good looking/performing buggy...
