One is made by Hobao and the other by Kyosho
All modern buggies share a very similar layout, though some have nice new inovative ideas.
The kyosho is newer (as in 'so new you couldn't buy one') and hugely over priced at the moment, whilst the hyper offers good performance and great value for money.
Did you have any particular concerns or questions?

Looks to be about 250 pounds difference (thats the cost of a very good engine)

Well hmmm..... one of them you can buy right now and the other one isn't really out yet. Besides that.... one is a HoBao/OFNA and the other is a Kyosho. One is made in Taiwan/China and the other in Japan.

One is expensive and one is cheap.
One is New and one is Old.
One is Kyosho and the other one is Hyper

So that should put you on track.
