Default Which Buggy?

alright so i've been looking into buggies for a while, its between the OFNA picco.21 vs the redcat 1/10th scale tornado s30. i've only got 400$ and i dont have a job so theres no income(im 13). although the OFNA is bigger i was think i could buy the redcat with a few upgrades. and what do u guys think of the redcat( i did my h.w on the picco.) visit http://www.redcatracing.com/RC-Cars/...ro/Tornado-s30 for the video.

man seeing you have no income don't get the redcat, They are made by the same company that makes himoto, and some exceeds(I believe) which I believe I read you already have some bad experience with
go with the picco or one of the other ofnas

DO NOT get the REDCAT. The ofna Picco is a great buggy, very very durable.

I recommend the Duratrax Raze or the Hyper 7, I can say their both good, because my buddy has a raze, nothing really bad has ever happen to it, except a little damage in the engine-only due to how rough we bash ours lol. Anyways, its as tough as a tank, and my hyper 7 I couldnt be happier with, it runs smooth as anything, and I've had nothing but good luck with it. So if Iwas you kid, Ithink your right around the price range for a Raze or a Hyper 7, im not saying get one, but at least consider it. Also like the other guys said, STAYAWAYFROMREDCATS, I've heard nothing but problems with those, and the sound of it, it looks like you really dont have money to fix trouble, so just don't go near Redcats or Himotos.

I dont know much about the picco, but Ithink its for more racing, what are you looking for a good racer or basher? The hyper 7 can be a racer, but if you want a race to begin with I think the picco is a better choice.

picco is 100 times better for both racing and bashing. everything is more beefed up and its just a better and newer design.
