RE: What buggy?
ORIGINAL: XrayDriver
One thing you have to think about when getting into new RC equipment, is the cost to run the equipment. The cost of running a buggy can by far surpass the purchase price. My recommendation is to buy the strongest buggy on the market, even if it cost you a bit more than you expected to spend. You will save way more money later when needing less individual parts for replacement from breakage or maintenance. I would also purchase a low end race model motor from a reputable manufacturer, instead of running the RTR stuff. These motors last longer and will allow you to learn the Break-in/tuning/air cleaner and other .21 size motor issues for a descent price. After saying all this I think my main point is "do it right the first time" and skip the RTR.
So spend money on the Buggy and Control system save money everywhere else. They aren't called radio controlled cars for nothing... the control part, is very important.

Look up the [link=http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/m_intro.php?Xnet_Session=051b674349aa40b1cb9bdc109 f5296c3]Xray XB808 buggy[/link] on Google search engine and start reading.....
Xray.
Also one of the best budget race motors is the RB Concept S5 or S3.
P.S. I got the shock covers and filter covers on [link=http://www.undergroundrc.com/]UndergroundRC[/link]

Don't forget to try to see if you can find parts for the 808. I would hold of a bit if you plan on racing or anything because if you get an 808 and it breaks "THEY ALL BREAK" being with out your expensive buggy for weeks at a time would suck.
As far as a RTR goes I have a LST2 with a 9 gallon RTR Mach in it, so they do last if you learn how to take care of them.
