I was thinking about getting the Hyper 7 PBS with a MACH .28 engine. Will this thing be able to keep up with the buggies at the track? I've heard the PBS's are beginner cars...Is this true? I've also heard the hyper 7 PCR (with a .21 8 port) will go faster than the PBS...Is this true? Or if these buggies are not worthy... Give me some input on what to buy:

1. I plan to race (and win)
2.I want an Ofna or a BigTime Brand that parts are easy to find
3. I am an OK driver (so I'm not completly relying on the car)
Thanks in advance for the help
P.S> Im a noobie to buggies so sorry for all the questions- Thanks

IF you plant to race then dont get the PBS, becuase you cant race with anything othet then .21's, but if you already plan on putting a new engine into the car then get a jammin x1 CR RTR, its the same price as the PCR on towerhobbies, and is a little bit racier, but either one will get you winning with the right set-up, and practice.

I forgot to add that I only want to spend around $400 (thats all I have)

My cousin has hyper 7 pbs with hyper .21

Man that thing is so tough...a fun drover over its tire...the tire was all crashed...but when the van backed out...the tire was all normal again...i was amazed
and few times it run afay hitting a curb, tree at full speed and nothing....very well built buggy and its really fast
