Default Advice?

I am relly confused right now[&:]. This guy is offering me a Team Losi 8ight RTR with everything(even the spektrum!) for 280!. I wanted to orginally get into 1.8 buggy racing by a Jammin FTE kit with top of the line everything(it would have took a few months to get the cash). I kinda wanted to build the kit myself...


There is a few differnces between the kit and RTR but shouldn't be that big of deal. should I save the cash and buy a Jammin FTE kit or just buy the 8ight?

EDIT: Guy sold it under my nose....

Thats a good deal. You could turn around and sell it for more than that on ebay if its in good shape. Jump on that.

That is a really good deal if it is all in good shape. Go for the 8ight!! Better buggy than the Jammin too.

i owned an eight pro the shocks leaked the front universal wore out very fast and my buddy has a jammin factory team and he as about 8-10 gallons on it and the universal are just know starting to show wear and he hasnt had hardly any problem with is shocks and it dont break as easy as the eight dont get me wrong very fast buggy but its also alot of hype the jammin is a great buggy in my book thats the one i will be ordering next.
