Ok so heres the story...
I got a revo 3.3 a while fooled around with it on bashing and on a track... But it just doesn't compare to my losi 8ight truggy!
so im going to sell the revo and get a buggy...
But i am going to get all the BEST stuff Everything top of the line!!!!!
I have 1 really good servo and i have a spare 2.4 radio so all i need is the buggy and engine but for now im trying to choose a buggy.
Now i was looking at the losi 8ight 2.0 buggy but now someone at the hobby store told me the xray is way better...
So im trying to choose which to get... I am a very good driver and am look for am AMAZING buggy!!!
Money's not a matter... for now at least
So could you guys what do you think i should do???
Could you tell me which is lighter, which is the stongest, which is the best on cornering... things like that
and it is true that the xray is better than the losi 8ight 2.0 (with a smart diff?)
Im open to any suggestions for buggy's so please get me your feedback
sorry for all the questions... this hobby got me and i just keep wanting to get new cars...
So this is my last and final car for now so it has to be amazing performace wise.

uummmm x-ray is good but.... When you talk about those car there is no ultimate car.
If the budjet is not a probleme i would say a Kyosho MP9 or losi 8ight 2.0 with 400$ smart diff.
I will probably considere the new mugen mbx6 but I don't like the carbon shok tower.
Now the engine. So much good engine this years
-1-.21 rb c6
-2-.21 os vz-b v spec tune
-3-.21 novarossi +4
RB give you more mid and high, os got a lot of punch, nova give you insane run time with the turbo plug
all good choice[8D]

You can't go wrong with either one. They are both great choices so pick whichever one you like the most. If I was you, I would chose the Losi 2.0 simply because you aready have the truggy. By having the same buggy and truggy platforms you reduce the amont of partes needed because they share most of the same parts. Also, maintenance will be easier because you are already used to the Losi platform so no learning curve. Now if you just want to Xray that is fine. You will end up with an odd jumble of parts if you don't keep everything organized. Just make sure that you get the new Xray if you get one (the 808 2009 Spec).

If I were in the market for a new ride and had the pockets, I'd go Mugen with a JX Ninja 21... I run AE stuff and haven't had a Mugen yet, but they have such a killer rep, especially for part-quality and durability. It'll be my next brand. I've been evolving upwards I think - started with HPI, then Losi, then AE, next Mugen... X-ray is supposed to be great too, but I would worry about part availability and cost.
RB's are simply overpriced IMO. Especially parts.. If I were to go big money on an engine, it'd be the Ninja. Just seen too many running like banshees, and yeah, they have a great rep as well.
