Default simple question please help

Hi folks,

LHS aside should I buy a Jammin x1 CR RTR or a Kyosho mP7.5 RTR

I like Jammin because shaft start and .26 engine plus on paper it seems strong.
I Like Kyosho cos well the name!!! is it as good as the Jammin?

Anyone have good experience for a comment please.

Usage will be bashing.
Please help.
Thanks alot,
Nick.

Your gonna spend that much $$$$ on a basher?!!!!!! Man it must be nice to have money just to throw away As far as Roto Start...... Blah[&:] Starter Box IMO is the best route. I had a roto start then switched over to a box and its much better...... I've been racing a Hyper 7 PBS and its very durable I'm a newb when it comes to racing so I tend to crash hard and spend most of my heat waiting on Turn Marshels to flip me back over. But havnt broke a single part on the PBS.... Might want to look at that for a basher......

All i can say is, dont go for the INferno. I have got one, had it a month and upgraded the the hyper 7 TQ RTR, if your planning on bashing it, the Inferno will Always break IMO. I broke mine evrytime i took it out, and i was only taking it on a school playground and field! IMO the 7.5 is a very weak buggy compared to the hyper. Wouldnt have a clue about the jammin though, but have only hear good things about them.

I have the jammin and it is sick. It is not the rtr version but I had the rtr first. It should come with the 28 and for your purposes the roto start will be fine you can always get the starter box later. Here is a pic of mine

Don't get a starter box if you're only going to be bashing. You don't wanna lug that thing around with you everywhere.

thanks. I bought the covers because they were only like 7 bucks. They work. My local track is real loamy and the rest of the car is usually a mess but the shafts stay pretty clean. I even ran in a muddy track in NJ when I was there and they still stayed clean. The first car was a RTR it was a great car then a parking lot runaway into a curb full speed of course everthing bent so i rebuilt it as a FTE+ a little. So including the cost of the RTR you are looking at about a $1600 buggy. My wife loves that RC is so inexpensive.[>:] That is what I told her before I bought the Jammin. [}]
