If you want BLISTERING SPEED then you don't want a buggy, these are designed for acceleration, you want an I/C.

Matrix RTR.. the best bang for the bucks. $450 and you get FM radio, metal gear servos, and promising performance. Hyper 8 is good but you will end up spending another $200 to upgrade radio+servo. My matrix is also cutting me better time than my old K car. on top of that, its a lot eaiser to drive an doesnt flip as easy as the K-car.

they included the DX2 because its one of the best brands of radios out there. the matrix and turmoil have been argued about to death already, if your gonna do all racing, get the matrix, all bashing, get the turmoil, half and half, get the turmoil, unless you wanna buy a new engine.
