Default Confuse which buggy to choose, need help.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to buggy and I'm thinking to get one of this buggy:
1. Kyosho MP9 T.K.I or
2. XRAY XB808 2010 spec

I confused which one to get since both of them almost have the same price. Any suggestions? The track over my area is full of big jump, and whats my main concern is hoping both of these buggies don't break easily. Please help..... Thx.

What does your local hobby shop stock? What do they run at your local track?

They stock a lot of Hot Bodies D8, and the parts are quite difficult to find in the shop. Most of the people over here also use D8. I'm looking something more different and more reliable than D8. Cause D8 break so easily from what i seen on the track. Not to mention parts that are so expensive.

From what I see, I think parts for the Xray are expensive, however from what read they are a good strong buggy. I had an MP9 and a lot of the racer had the MP9 at my local track (here in Japan) but we switched to the Mugen MBX-6 as we found it a pain to setup at times and the Mugens were doing it very easy. I now have a Mugen and a Losi and enjoy them both. But different people like different buggies, so really it's down to personal preference, how much you want to spend and how easy it to come by parts.
Good luck!

get a HB D8, they are amazing. i was always against HB and then one day i said im going to get one just to see how it is and it was the best thing i have done. THEY ARE DURABLE TOO!!! i couldnt believe that they are so durable, the first ones were junk, but now they have new plastic and metal. if you have problems with axils wearing then get the WCE axils. but these things dont break!!! i have ran the snot out of my D8 and D8T to test the durability and still i have yet to break a part, all i had was one bearing come apart on my truggy. they handle awesome. mine are both box stock with just a aluminum servo horn for the steering.

but out of those two i would go with the Xray.

X-RAY ???? Your right!! They are way over priced!!!!

What's wrong with the LOSI 8ight? That is built and designed for the 1st place podium...They are insanely fast, good looking kits, and durable as hell...
