1/8 Scale Buggy
I just wondered what buggy would someone suggest to me???
I am not really into racing but do it occasionally.
I have built a few wooden jumps and some dirt jumps...
I would like to have a durable buggy but 1 that gets going pretty good...
So pretty much i want a fast and durable buggy...
Price Limit $400-500
Any suggestions would be great.

RE: 1/8 Scale Buggy
way i see iy yo have 4 choices:
cen matrix rtr (good engine, and i hear it''s one of the most durable buggies)
hyper 7 rtr (mediocre engine, can take a beating like no other buggy, the most durable)
hyper 8 rtr (more race orianted than hyper 7, same engine, not as durable)
hurricane xp (good engine, people say it''s extremely durable, needs a lot to be race worthy)
have fun

Pretty much what he says but be carful of the CEN engines. Most are shocking (unless they have started sourcing from elsewhere recently)

RE: 1/8 Scale Buggy
In which case SH engines are very good for the money and the best you''ll get in any RTR.
Just make sure it is indeed one of the new ones cos the old engines would run very hot, not tune and burn out very quickly.
