Default new buggy

OKAY! well im hitched, my friend recently got a buggy from some friends of his after he built him a track (an awesome track) and i am ready to get my own, of course this is only my second nitro, ive never had an electric, and i can already race in intermediate class (monster truck my first car was a revo 3.3) ive been looking at the hyper 8 mostly but i thought i should ask you guys. ill be doing some racing but ALLOT of bashing. backyard,construction sites, and the track so i really need help on wich car i should get. im trying to stay under 600$ but the 8ight looks incredible but i just don't have the money....so....help?

Go for the 8 You will never look back... Awsome buggy at a awsome price, I would recommend the Hyper 8 Pro Kit, like I have better quality not that 8 is bad or anything, but then you would need Engine, servos seperate.. Is the more exspensive wya but, Could be cheaper on the long run, The only thing I have broke on mine nearly a year is a front shock tower, From Plowing into a brick wall at max 10, With no control to stop it due to damaged reciever battery pack... So they are very durable Jk,... You will be very happy with it.

Not the 8, get the 8.5, then you will have the best Hobao with all the hop ups you wished you'd have got when you got the 8. Mix it with a V-Spec and T2050 and then you'll have an excellent setup to entertain yourself with every sunday.

I`d get the Hyper 8.5 , a good engine of your choice and a JP3 pipe . Make sure to get some descent servos also . It`s better and cheaper to get the good stuff first instead of going cheap and then upgrading later .

If you don't want a kit, you can get the 8ight RTR for under $600. A Main has them for $559.
