Hey all,
basically I've been stuck in the boring world of electrics for too long and had a go of a friends Nitro buggy the other day and well I WANT ONE!!
I'm not looking for the top of the line car but something that is still pretty decent.. I don't know much about them but i am willing to learn.
I wont be racing the car so it'll be used just for some fun with mates but of course it has to be better then theirs
so is there a type of car that you guys would recommend on getting?

Cheers

He is not racing he doesnt need the best.. Get a hyper 7 or gs cl-1 bith are durable racable and the hyper is more of a basher

Take a look at the Caster Racing ZX1-R RTR. Very nice RTR buggy.

Was that a real commercial on TV? Kinda Cheesy IMO. Looks like a nikko toy for some reason.

Dokioto

I thought it look like a hobby grade car.. Look at the suspension and every thing lol.

thanks for the input, is there any certain type of hyper 7 to get?

vtec.

no get losi 8 or Hb D8

ecocav04

i would say out of th hyper7 or caster i would go for the caster

tuxedo

hmm so many different options, doesn't help me much the hyper 7 seems a very old buggy been around for a long time i just dont see how it would still be competitive with the newer ones.
I've got a budget of about $500 probably bit more if required, hope that helps minimize the numbers, if its really fast and handles really well id be happy

Now i think about it, racing might be fun, im liking the losi 8ight and the hotbodies D8

DS

the jammin comercial was so cheesy lol it looked like an electric nikko

Going to be hard to do a D8 since they only come in a kit around $350 then you need an engine, radio system, servos and track equipment. Yes the Hyper 7 is still very competitive on the track for club racers.

i guess i could save a little more, how much do the losi 8ight go for?

hmm yeah i looked around at some places and the losi and such seem a bit out of my budget.
being located in Australia id probably get it from here [link]http://www.hyperhobbies.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=36&osCsid=42de030db664c8058fc31f424178a5a9[/link]
is that the same as whats in your link?

Yes that is the same thing. The Hyper series are made by Hobao and here in the states Ofna imports the Hobao line along with the Hong nor. So here in the states many call them Ofna with Ofna does not make anything only imports them.

Ah i see, that explains a lot lol..
Thanks for your help, can't wait to get one of these babies
