Default What is a good buggy?

I am looking for a bullet proof buggy that has at least decent handeling....etc. The max i'd like to spend is about $450-500. I mainly bash, but race once or twice a month. So if you like a certain buggy tell me and i'll check it out!
Thanks,
Jarrett

Thanks a lot viper463 i have been looking at the caster, the ofnas, and the cen matrix the other doesn't look bad either. What have you heard about the matrix? I have heard it both ways. I have been mainly looking at the caster and the hyper 8.

Default RE: What is a good buggy?

I haven't even seen a matrix around here but that doesn't mean anything really, however if your looking at the caster and the hyper I would really pick one of those and did you see that they had that one on there that already had a bunch of hop ups? http://www.holeshothobbies.com/servl...EAM-KIT/Detail

If I had the extra cash I would get that in a second...... But I've been wanting to try one of these out after hearing so much about them... I personally run Kyosho and Mugen but I've run about everything out there and I'm actually switching to Hot Bodies as soon as the D8 comes out... I really like the way that buggy looks but, it won't be out till august.. Oh also If your looking more at the Ofna you might want to wait a few because they have the new Hyper 9 coming out pretty soon also... I think Caster is going to be on this design for a while but who knows really... Ok I'm done rambling now LOL.... Hope it helps...

I am telling you that Caster buggy you linked to above is SWEET!!! I would have kept if for myself if I did not have one already. The chassis alone is over $100 to buy. The milling is awesome on it and much lighter than stock. Whoever gets this buggy is going to have one fast and light machine.

Just make sure you look into the parts and if you can get them when you deside. People seem to forget that part.
