Personally if you can i would save up that little bit more and purchase a new or even 2nd hand Hyper 7 good starter buggy at very reasonable price.?? Thats my personall opinion

RE: buggy help
 

Yeah Jamie's right, you will struggle to find anywhere to race a 1/10 nitro buggy. Also it won't be strong enough and you'll struggle to get spares. Even if the shop you get it from says they stock it, the question is for how long? if it doesn't sell well (which it probably wont') they will drop it and you'll be left with a shelf filler.
The hyper 7 is readily available has tons of spares and can be got little used for under £150 on ebay. it can also be upgraded to a respectable pro level buggy and just will not break (well mine rarely did)

RE: buggy help
 

If you were to buy that buggy its cheap at the start but then eventually you probally could have brought a hyper 7 for the amaonut of spares from the buggy breaks, i would really listen to johnnymac because he knows what he is talking about. He has helped me lots to already hes like gandolf the wise lol!!

:) my beard just grew a few inches!

RE: buggy help
 

hahah genniussss lol and were all litlle hobitts thriving from your knowledge lol

RE: buggy help
 

Well my little hairy toed friend, I am just passing on knowledge that i've learn't painfully. I've bought 'bad buy' buggies and trucks and am now a little wiser. At the end of the day it is entirely upto the individual what to buy. I just know what is good value and performs well.
Its a hard hobby to learn at first as there is a lot to learn in a short time but after a short time you too will be a wise old man lol.
After my first 'naff' truck i felt like quitting it, then i bought a rubbish buggy [:'(]
There are many 'wise' people on here, you just need to know whos talking sense. Read about and you will soon know who they are.

RE: buggy help
 

I have the jist of knowing who knows what there talking about ;) and who dosent excatly its the person buying the item that has to make the decision.

RE: buggy help

RE: buggy help

RE: buggy help
 

Buy a VTX buggy...Handles great,drives nice and hangs witht he best buggies out there....$299 at myhobbydepot.com

RE: buggy help
 

are spare parts easy to find?

RE: buggy help
 

The TQ is the most basic, but is the one that can be upgraded to pro spec. It has C-hub steering.
The PBS has pivot ball suspension and a faster 8 port engine (of the .21 versions).
Generaly C-hub has faster steering with more throw, whilst PBS is more adjustable and slightly stronger. C-hub can be made tougher with CNC knuckles though it may be months before you break a cast knuckle anyway.
You won't go wrong with either
Get the cheapest one and any money you save spend on a rechargeable receiver pack and a good quality steering servo.

RE: buggy help
 

i have abolutly no idea what that means even though you probaly spent some time on it
is this a good one

RE: buggy help
 

get the hyper 7 or even a ravager

get some ofna based car

RE: buggy help
 

but is it a good buggy

RE: buggy help
 

Buy an Xray XB8 then give it to me. (best advice I can Give)

RE: buggy help
 

hAHAHAHA that is the best advice i have ever seen someone give lol. Yea I think we all recommend getting a ofna based buggy thats you best bet im my opinion.

RE: buggy help
 

We are telling you what we think!
If you aint listening buy the VTX!
There are at least 4 people on here telling you to buy a hyper, and you keep on asking about a VTX. I have absoloutley no idea if its good because i've never seen one. That in itself would worry me.
Buy it if you want it, but dont expect to race it seriously with that .26 engine in it, as most tracks allow .21s only.

RE: buggy help
 

Yea jonnymac has a very valid point we have all recomended a hyper so its upto you in the end, but jonnymac knows his buggies from what i have seen in other threads. So either take the good solid advice from people saying ofna buggies or take a BIG CHANCE and get the vtx!!

Jk

RE: buggy help
 

well ok
i have already looked at OFNA hyper 7
ok
there to expensive, i have like 300$ top ok


so now that all of you are hyper 7 masters
