Hi Ricardo! I am not familiar with the other two you mention, but the HPI Trophy Truggy does NOT have a good reputation. The Blitz or the Savage are ok, about the only HPI vehicles that anyone recommends.

I'm gonna guess....are you in Europe? The RC market in Europe and the USA are a little different. You guys have stuff we don't have, and vice-versa. Hence the reason I don't reccognize the RB One or the Sworkz. There is a guy around here named "Foxy" who has lots of experience and knowlege with all kinds of RC models from all over. He may be able to point you to some European RC websites to look at and some brands to consider. Send him a PM and ask.

Sounds like you're interested in 4wd and truggys? All nitro?

RB 1 V2 limited edition would be the best of the bunch.

Not really fair to compare a RTR (D8S) to a kit racer (SWorkz and RB). That being said, the D8S is based on the older D8 model. D8 Hara was superseded by the HB D812.

look to see if you can find the hong nor X3 Sabre, or the Hobao Hyper 7 TQ Black (that is what they are sold by everywhere outside the US) Both are decent vehicles both are buggies. Hong Nor Nexx 8t is a decent truggy

You're right. Of the three, (if it matters) I think the RB one V2 limited edition is the closest to a current edition race buggy.
