....and guys, I know its easy to bash these young kids, but remember you were new once and probably asked 'stupid' questions when you started (I know I did lol).
Most people fall into the RTR trap first time out, so try and be a little civil to the kid.

bloodlezz, I apologize if I offended you. I thought I was trying to help. If you didn't want, or were going to get offended by, the advise that you asked for, you shouldn't have asked.
What is it with this forum? I've posted in a couple of threads, trying to share information so that others can benefit from the experience that I've had with this hobby. Whether stupid or not, I spent over $15,000 on this hobby just last year. I'm no pro driver, and only spend about a third of my running time on a track, but I have tried a lot of what's out there. I'm just hoping to keep someone with less disposable income from spending money that they don't need to. All I've met with is smart ***** responses from, what appear to be, "know it all" kids.

RE: Good First Time Buggie?
rcmart is a good place, but you need to be careful since not all there buggies comes equipped like they do in europe or us.
Other good places are www.amainhobbies.com or www.bmainhobbies.com in usa
In UK there are www.benracing.co.uk and propably a lot more that I don't know.
Good buggyes could be:
Hyper 8
Xray XB8R
Jammin X1-CR Pro
A Go 7 port is not the best engine for a beginner.
Another advice is to stay away from used stuff.

RE: Good First Time Buggie?
The only problem with ordering from the US is they are not allowed by law to falsify the values, That way you always get stung on import tax. They don't seem so hot on that in Rc mart and sometimes minimise the values and therfore the tax.
I have ordered much stuff from the US though as the same pounds/dollar thing exists

I don't want to be hard on you, but you do not have a lot of experience with nitro engines as is obvious from your questions.
What are your budget?

Go .21 7 port UK supplier [link=http://www.lstshop.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/102/products_id/1380?osCsid=aa4ef65d1138f2beb93ad7170d89541e]here[/link]
I would go with hong kong (RCmart) but you can order from the states if you wish, you're just more likely to pay the full tax.

RE: Good First Time Buggie?
Remember that you need a starterbox if you get a Go 7 port.
Try to make an estimate what you can spend on the buggy, engine, radio, servos, tools etc. etc.

RE: Good First Time Buggie?
Go 7 port = 120 £
Starterbox = 50 £
Radio and servos = at least 100 £
Not much left for the buggy. Or tools. Or fuel....
Maybe you should look at a Hyper 7 with the Hyper 21 8 port engine.

RE: Good First Time Buggie?
Do you actually try the links that are posted in this thread?
But Hyper 8 are made by HoBao. It is also sold as an Ofna, a Graupner or a Pirate.

RE: Good First Time Buggie?
Well since you asked:
The 8 is better than the 7.
Furthermore it is a new design whereas the 7 is old.
It would propably be a better idea for you to get a Hyper 8 rtr.
