1/8 Scale Buggy

I just wondered what buggy would someone suggest to me???

I am not really into racing but do it occasionally.
I have built a few wooden jumps and some dirt jumps...
I would like to have a durable buggy but 1 that gets going pretty good...

So pretty much i want a fast and durable buggy...

Price Limit $400-500

Any suggestions would be great.

RE: 1/8 Scale Buggy

way i see iy yo have 4 choices:
cen matrix rtr (good engine, and i hear it''s one of the most durable buggies)
hyper 7 rtr (mediocre engine, can take a beating like no other buggy, the most durable)
hyper 8 rtr (more race orianted than hyper 7, same engine, not as durable)
hurricane xp (good engine, people say it''s extremely durable, needs a lot to be race worthy)

have fun:D

Pretty much what he says but be carful of the CEN engines. Most are shocking (unless they have started sourcing from elsewhere recently) Also bump the hurricane off the list. Its no better than any other re-badged cheapo buggy.

This is no longer true. The Matrix now comes with a CEN rebadged SH .28.

In which case SH engines are very good for the money and the best you''ll get in any RTR.
Just make sure it is indeed one of the new ones cos the old engines would run very hot, not tune and burn out very quickly.
