Buggy questions.
 

hi, i have been looking into buggies for quite some time. I have a ST and a MT with about 5 years experience so i guess im not really a "newbie". i want one because i hear they can really fly. Nitro, not electric pleez.

1.) How are they better than monster trucks?

2.) Top 3 RTR's to look into, (well known and parts availabillity.)

I have been leaning towards the ofna hyper 7 RTR. is it pretty good for bashing/some racing?

RE: Buggy questions.
 

1 they are way stronger than a MT ive seen mine go end over end down a hill and take large jumps and most times it was just a few scatches.

2 any of the OFNA rtr are good if u can wait for a while the new XRAY XB8R is coming out and it lokks as though it will be really good. I have the original XB8 and it is a top notch buggy

RE: Buggy questions.
 

ya i think i'll get the hyper 7. i looked at that XRAY and it looks a little much for me being a noob to buggies and all.

RE: Buggy questions.
 

i just got a hyper 7 and they seem very solid. havent been able to get it running well enough to test it hough[:@]

RE: Buggy questions.
 

just to let u know i am a noob and have the XB8 it wasnt hard to build and once built it no different than a rtr except better parts quality

Hey, i just bought a Hot Bodies lightning 2 rr which is a 1/8 buggy.
It comes with a .26 engine which is super super fast!
It depends what you want it for really?
The lightning 2 is truly a BASHERS car, its solid and when i mean solid i mean SOLID!!!!
Go to this link and read there review on it, They put this car through its paces(56ft jumps and landing on 1 wheel) and couldnt break a single thing on it!
