Default My tough decision! Help!

Alright, so I have two choices in between a MT and a Buggy.

The buggy is a: [link=http://i.ebayimg.com/06/!BQ8cdPg!mk~$(KGrHgoH-EQEjlLluvvMBJ7g1-43Bg~~_1.JPG]Ofna Violator 9.0 1/8 buggy[/link] which is used but well kept and pretty clean. Comes with a Start box, glow starter, the motor is also set up with a roto start plate, it comes with extra parts like glow plugs, clips, springs, air filter, and the transmitter.

And [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360146409219]THIS[/link] new MGT 3.0.

They're both just about $230.

Go for the Ofna. It is higher quality. Worth it even it is used. You can also upgrade parts, or replace the worn ones. The cheaper models always break down easily.

mmgt 3.0 is definitely a better choice. i just bought one and its great the thing is so durable and runs great the sales on this truck have gone up 40% in the last month so many are getting this truck its definitely a better choice. Team associated is a lot easier to get parts for if anything breaks they send you the part at no cost real easy to deal with!!

I would go with the Ofna. First of all, it comes with a starter box. that alone would sway me towards the buggy. Buggies are more agile and IMO more fun to run than heavy, hard to drive MTs. Since the ofna coems with extras, you know the owner knew what he was doing.
