RE: What are the difference between Race and bash buggys?
I believe a good driver can compete with almost any buggy, but I would not say they could win with any buggy. Being a good driver is not just being good on the driver stand. It is knowing your vehicle inside and out. Proper set up for any conditions. Being able to listen to others ideas and knowing how to apply them. Certain buggies do have set up and equipment limitations, no matter who is driving.

RE: What are the difference between Race and bash buggys?
alot has to do with rules. race buggy's have 125cc tanks, .21 size motors. basher could have whatever you want to put in it, you could get a 150cc tank and throw a os .30 in it if thats what you want to do.
basicly you can bash anything but you can only race with a .21 motor and 125cc tank(except some club level races allow you to run whatever)

RE: What are the difference between Race and bash buggys?
Race buggies are usually the high end in pricing. Not only do they include high quality CNC, carbon fiber, and plastic parts, they are also lighter and the chassis better distributes the mass to maintain a low center of gravity close to the center line for optimum steering and handling. The race buggies are tweaked and tested extensively by the companies to make sure you get the most durable, and best handling buggy on the market. Usually, the buggies that are pro level have a big brother, a truggy. If you look at all pro race buggies, there is a truggy built off the same platform. The other factor that plays in to the high pricing and popularity is a well known brand name. Mugen, kyosho, x ray, associated, cen, jammin, ofna, etc are all manufacturers of pro level buggies. Almost all pro level buggies are also kits, meaning you can pick whatever radio, servos, engine, etc. you want for the buggy.

RE: What are the difference between Race and bash buggys?
buuuuuuuuuuuuut but but but you can bash what you guys are calling "race buggies" like the 808 and you can race a "bash buggy" like the hyper 7 if thats what you want. just because you want to bash doesnt mean you have to buy a low end, outdated buggy and just because you want to race doesnt mean you have to buy the newest most expensive thing out.
i suggest that you look around at all the buggies available and just choose the one your like

RE: What are the difference between Race and bash buggys?
When I bought my Ofna Ultra MBX R2 a few years back, I intended it to be for racing at a couple of local tracks. My intention is'nt really winning, but just to have some fun. The car I chose was well reviewed for being relativly durable, and parts for the Ultras are available. If I were going to get serious I'd be thinking Losi 8ight or AE RC8....
