Default How much should..

quick question..
looking for another buggy to run around with without risking tearing up my 8ight..

was thinking about an mp7.5 kanai2/3.. anyone know a good price for a decently used roller, or completed USED (of course it'll be used..) one?

thanks

Unless you just want a different buggy, why not get a used 8ight? That way it will fit your start box, and you can use parts off it to fix your main buggy if needed. If seen those go from $150-200.

+1, Not to mention you can use it as a practice buggy on the track or get a truggy. They have more clearence and are great bashers Losi's are tough.

Lol, wow.. never thought about another 8ight..

Well, I dunno. I'm not sure I really want ANOTHER one.. i'd like some variety :P I was looking at the MP777's too.. SP1s go for cheap, may pick up a used one, and upgrade it to SP2->WC specs.

Quick question.. anyone know what parts from the SP1->SP2 are? Thanks

(for some reason, I really want a Kyo bug.. I almost bought the WC but got the 8ight instead)

oh, and, I have an LST for bashing, lol. I love that truck

where did you see one for that price? ive been watching ebay for the past month and havent seen an 8ight buggy for that cheap. al the ones i see go for around $300 for a pro kit. ive even seen a rtr roller go for $260.

i will say though, ive seen a few 8ight t's go pretty cheap on ebay

i've seen those low prices but that's not the norm you're really gonna spend at least $300 IMO for a losi roller but with the price drops a change may come as far as M777's I dunno cause i don't watch kyosho's so no telling

Lol, you bought an 8ight yesterday? It ended pretty early, so who knows?

I think it had a green body, or something of the sort.

Oh, before i forget, here's some pix of the SP1 I've found on Ebay, is it decent condition for 165? (that's his asking price for BIN)

I got 2 used sp2 rollers last year off ebay. One was 250 and the other was 310 including s/h. Both came with a few parts and extra bodies. Ive seen a few go for under 200 though, just dont get carried away with bidding, play the waiting game and you can get a good kyosho roller for 200.

Yeah, tony's screws are all hex machine screws, just got a set for spares for my ST-RR conversion. Had already done a stainless screw conversion previously. IMO the quality of Tony's Screws is second to none, and wish I had purchased them originally.

Well, I got my buggy today.

MP777 SP2 with WC stoofs (99.9% WC according to Sman :P [thanks for all your help man, REALLY appreciate it, btw])

This thing is NICE, I like it a LOT. very good quality, and it's pretty clean. Good deal IMO.
I'll post pics later

Thanks man

I'm gonna say this.. lol, I have a very STRONG feeling that this buggy will be replacing my 8ight. Only need to pick up another starter box, and I'm gonna throw a V Spec in there..... should haul. Excited about running - sucks I have to wait sooo long though. This things IMO feels way better quality then the 8ight - AND it's used. haha

+1 in my books for Kyosho.

Yeah,

I think that buggy looks awsome. Replace your 8 i dunno. Biggest problem is where do you go from there. It's used and only going to get more used. Oh yeah thats right the mp9 for $850.[] Have fun with it anyway it really does look nice.

By the time that 777 needs replacing, he'll be able to get the 'MP10'

Looks good A.B.U.
