I am stumped as from reading your post at first I am thinking you are thinking about getting a buggy and in the next sentence you say you are tired of being beat like you all ready have a buggy.

OK I am sorry and do understand now. Before our local track closed lost of times when not to many people showed up we would combine classes. I have the Hyper 8 and I am VERY well pleased with it. I have two engines an OS RG 21 and an STS D21B. Both very good engines but the STS has more top end speed then the OS.

yep, hyper 8 pro(rolling chassis) or the CEN matrix pro

for engine, if your not wanting to spend heaps but still want quality, then the Novarossi T21BF is perfect at $174.95 from www.amainhobbies.com

Yup! if it was my money it would be the hyper 8 pro. As for engines look at the sportwerks .21, the novarossi mentioned above would be a good buy too.
