Buggy choice
 

please help....................not too sure what buggy to go for. My 2 mates have:

Rex-x with force .32 engine and 2 spped box
and
Losi 8ight

I need to slaughter them both as they have big heads and need dressing down a bit

I was looking at an associated RC8 RTR, Hobao Hyper 8/8.5 or a Hong Nor buggy with .32 engine ( or do i upgrade a losi 8ight)

OR IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE OUT THERE IVE MISSED ?????????

Thanks

How much do you want to spend?
The best way to get a good buggy in this game is to get a pro kit, select a good engine and buy a decent radio all seperately.
the pro kit of any of those buggies will do.
Just remember though, its mostly about driving.
Mind you a good pro kit should be running long after your mates have retired with broken parts ;).

You really only have to watch out for the guy with the Losi, as the rex-x is a cheaper buggy with a not so hot engine and the 2-speed won't help at all off road.

Cheers mate...... have about £400 or so to spend, would like a hyper 9 or a D8 but kids are bleeding me dry lol

what would you say was the best RTR in that sort of price bracket ??

The best RTR combos on the market are the RC8RS RTR, the Losi 8ight RTR and the HoBao hyper 8.5 BRCA edition, which comes with a starter box and a reasonable steering servo as standard.
These 3 represent the serious end of the RTR market. The BRCA is the one to go for if you want to race at a local club as its the only one with a .21 engine. As RTRs go all 3 have reasonable engines, with only the Losi having a 2.4ghz radio.

The Caster Racing ZX1-R RTR has a decent radio with alot of trim and epa adjustments on it and also comes with a .21 to be legal and is built really well. Just another option. But out of all the ones mentioned above if I had to choose from that list I would get the RC8.

If you are at interested in racing one day, you should get the 8ight. Once you have a spektrum you will never want to go back to regular radios.
