Hello!

For a while now Ihave been looking around for a nitro 1/8 buggy. My budget is around $500-$600 Australian dollars. So far I've found these buggies.

Caster Racing ZX 1.5R

I've had a drive of this one, seems pretty good.

Thanks

Hello
It is nice to see that more people are starting in on the sport of remote control racing so i am more than glad to help you out on your choice of rc cars.
I will start from worst to best
In my opinion the least raceable car is(if raceable is a word)would be the 1/10th i could not even be bothered to look at website couse you wanted what i would buy i would not even look at it for the price i am guesing it is just add a few hundred and get a proper one!
The gv dominator looks to be built a bit crapy and i would just rather the other ones over this.

sorry i pressed enter accidently sorry
i will finish up nice and fast in case i accadently do it again.
I would rather the caster racing over the Infernos because it is just a nicer buggy it is so nice it is the buggy i have bought for my son to get into the sport with.
i hope you take into consideration Thank you.

Could you please reply on your thoughts.</p>

Hello again.

I thought the same about some of the Kyosho's. I also read somewhere that parts for kyosho cars were hard to come by?

the Caster Racing one seems to be a great quality buggy, and so does the S8BX.

Thanks for the reply.

Yer I have heard that kyosho part's are hard to come by depending on where you live. 

What do you think of the EB4?

Oh sorry just realised i had not answered that.
It is allright but what i have heard it has some plastic parts that i would not recomened to be plastic.
</p>

Do you know of any clubs in your area that you can race at.
I saw you were from australia so i found a website of racing clubs in brisbane for when you get your buggy.
just incase you didn't know that there were any around.

Were you interested in racing your car

Thanks. I really only want one to race (not seriously, just around in a paddock or something) with my friend or just play around with. After saying that, I still want a durable buggy that can take some thrashings.

You said that you tryed the caster racing zx1.5r and you have hobby times,brisbanes website address did carl there let you have a go at it.</p>

You should race you can get great sponser ships and if you are just a begginner people there will help you on what to buy and what to do to get the best performance out of your car</p>

No, and as far as i know Hobby Time don't sell the ZX1.5 R. I had a go with it at a mates place. And when you say Brisbane's website address, where did you get that from?

Hobbytime brisbane is the website you sent me a link with on buggie of

Thanks for your help, how old are you?

51 But i think that is a bit rude asking my age
</p>

ok.

Sorry mate

Anyone else know anything about these?

Bump. Does anybody have any more information that would be of use?

Thanks in advance

You should get the caster racing one it would be your best bet!</p>

i dont like to bash any brands but caster is far behind IMO. not very durable either, i have seen people run them at the track and never finish a race. but i have heard there new ones are pretty good but still a little behind. they look almost just like a Mugen MBX5. but i dont know much about caster except that i have seen them break alot.

Hello Yer i agree the old caster's were Not the best bet.
As i have got my son the new updated type the zx 1.5 it has had no problems.
Yes i agree the old ones did break down a lot but i am glad they brought out a new upgraded one.

A mate of mine has the EB4 and is a very good buggy but came as a roller and by the time he finished it owed him a fair bit of $$$
As far as the GV Dominator goes it is just a rerelease of my GV XT2 but with the Force .25, my one over the last 18 months has taken a beating like a redheaded stepchild time and time again with very minimal damage ie $30AUD bucks in parts.
Just for info I am 31 lol.....
