Which is the best?!??!?
 

Hello! I am having a MELTDOWN trying to figure out which rc car will fit my needs. I'm going to be driving at the local dirtbike track which has a rc track, occasionally but more grass and fine dirt. Mainly,just bashing.. So I've brought my self to the final choices... Btw budget is around 450 first up.. Ofna hyper 7 tq black Mac star 28. Second nitro rustler. Third monsoon xtr. Last hurricane xtr. I need speed, durability , and fun! Mainly interested in buggies and truggies I've had my deal of monster trucks.. Out of these (or ones you think are better I could get with a budget of 500 ) which one is best for me:) PS must be 1/8 th scale and nitro . (yes I know nitro rustler is a 1/10th and a stadium truck,) ps sorry for improper sentence construction I haven't slept in18 hours0.o

The Hyper 7 is head and shoulders a better RC than the others you mentioned. I'm guessing you want nitro? you already have other models, so I'm guessing you don't need it to be completely RTR? What parts are you willing to transfer from other trucks? Servos? Receiver?

There's a very good truggy for only $330...the Hot Bodies D8T (the buggy is even cheaper), which is significantly better again than the hyper 7, but it will not include engine, electrics or anything like that. The kit and an engine/exhaust combo would probably fit your budget, but then you need to find 2 servos, a receiver battery and a transmitter/receiver, though I expect you already have tx/rx.

Engine: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...in-Start-Combo
Exhaust: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ystem-Polished

It's a little over budget, but it'll be an amazing RC. Otherwise the Hyper 7 is a safe bet.

This is also a good option for cheap... http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-RTR-1-8-Buggy

I need RTR.. Are the exceed RC Razors any good? Also, Do you think purcahsing a Jato and converting it to an off-road ST would be a suitable rc car for my needs?

RE: Which is the best?!??!?
 

Never mind. Forget the exceed hahahttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gifHonestly, would a Buggy or Truggy be better for bashing?http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...n/confused.gif

RE: Which is the best?!??!?
 

good question, they are both great, truggy tires are expensive, and truggies go through more stuff.

RE: Which is the best?!??!?
 

Truggies are better for bashing for the obvious reasons, wider, bigger tires, etc. But buggies are slightly faster and more agile.

For that price, I'd go with either the HPI Racing D8S Nitro 2.4GHz RTR or the Thunder Tiger 1/8 EB-4 S2.5 Pro Nitro 2.4GHz RTR.
