Best buggy for an aggressive driving style?
 

A friend of mine is looking into joining me in the 1/8 buggy class. Being a 777 sp1 owner, I'm the "expert" he's looking to for advise. Problem is, I'm new to the class and don't know all that much. He's a very agressive driver and really flies into turns. I know the 777 is best suited for a smoother type driver (or so I've been told due to its "twichiness"), but what comparable buggy is good for the aggressive type? He's looking at the MBX5 Prospec, XB8, Jammin, S3, and the 777.

Thanks.

How the car handles all depends on how you set it up. Honestly, all the buggies you listed have the potential to perform just as well as the next if you know how to set it up. Camber/castor/toe/shock positioning/diff & shock oil/ tires/ wing angle etc. will all ultimately decide how your car will behave on the track. He should just pick one, drive it, and become familiar with its characteristics. Once that is learned he can then tune it to fit his driving style. Also, when choosing a buggy, look into parts availability in your local area, nobody wants to wait for weeks to get parts if you break something. [8D]

Well, he went with the Mugen Prospec. Hopefully, that's a good choice. It certainly was an expensive one, but he has experience in RC with the smaller classes so it's not like he's jumping in over his head.
