I haven't driven either, nut I've seen plenty of 777s and heard a lot about the Jammin...

They're both tough buggies (as are just about all competition level kits), the question is...do you want hyper aggressive steering (Kyosho), or all round driveability (X1CR)?

They're both great buggies, go for the one that's better supported by your local community...

ROFLMAO..



I drove both (six buggies before I bought) and the reason I chose Kyosho SP-2 over Jammin X1CR.
The cornering of the Kyosho is un-matched and the quality of parts and durability are much better than the Jammin X1CR. Four of the racers who had Jammin X1CR's have switched to Kyosho's and X rays' and are much happier! Two of them were support drivers (50% deal) for Jammin and they both didn't like the quality of the parts. One now races for Kyosho and the other X Ray.

go to your local race & see what the majority of people there run, chances are it is the buggy with the best local support, so you'll be able to gat parts quicker & most likely cheaper when you need to replace something (& you will). all the top line buggies are good, it comes down to driver skill more than buggy when you get down to it.

yea the kyosha better by just a little. but i would go jammin. the suspension is awesome. carbon fiber. and milled parts. kyosho doesnt have any of that. and not to mension it is about 200 bucks less. if i had the money i would go kyosha but save your money man and go jammin
