Default Robitronic Protos? Please Help.

Is the Robitronic Protos a good buggy? I was looking for a 1/8th buggy to put on layaway, and I found the Protos for only 265. Is there anything I should know about this buggy?

Also, I was looking to spend around 300 for whatever buggy I get, and this one is $265, so is there anything I should buy for this buggy if I get it?

thanks, I read that thread, and it was mostly bad stuff. I think I will get the RD Logics SHO for $210, and drop in a SPEKTRUM DX2 radio, and servo system for $145

you could get an exellent truggy for 245 on amain the ttr st1. I heard the protos was not that good from my hobby shop, but know nothing on the show. What about a hyper 7 rtr for 300?

I dont want a truggy, only a buggy, and Is the hyper 7 black an updated version of the hyper 7? If it is, then I will get that, but if not, its to old, they have a hyper 8, 8.5 and 9. Also, is the hyper 7 black a good racer?
