Nitro Buggy or Nitro ST?
 

I was wondering what you guys thought of buggies vs STs in terms of nitro? Basically what it comes down to, is I'm contemplating between HPI's Firestorm or Ofna's LX Comp. I know the Firestorm is 1/10th and the LX is 1/8th so its kinda like comparing apples and oranges. But which one provides better off-road capabilities, handling, and durability? And how would the speed between the two compare? I know the Firestorm has a .18 engine and the LX has a .27 engine.

Ofna will go faster but firestorm will handle and take offroad better,if you plan o race get the ofna,if you just wanna play around and mabey race latero n get the firestorm just my opinion.

I have cars in both scales. I think either would be great off road. Maybe it's a matter of what you can afford. IN GENERAL, 1/10 is cheaper to run than 1/8.

RE: Nitro Buggy or Nitro ST?
 

I have an OFNA LX, and I strongly reccomend it. In my mind it's durable, fast, race worthy and probably the best buggie for the buck! However I also own 2 HPI vehicles and Know they are super tough and are really meant to bash around. If your a begginer I'ld reccomend the Firestorm because it' very tough and probably a better starter vehicle. Good Luck!

I agree with -EXTRA-... I do think, that the Ofna would handle a lot better though.

Ofna IMO is a good company and they get there parts by jay Jammin ( designed and tested of course not made by him)

cant go wrong with the firestorm, i absolutly love mine, very fast and handles awesome

RE: Nitro Buggy or Nitro ST?
 

I'd get both if you can make up your mind:D

RE: Nitro Buggy or Nitro ST?
 

Well out of the two, which would be better for sand, off-road, and snow? I probably wont be racing but just bashing. So which would suit all three conditions best? I'm going with the ST so far, but what do you guys think?

RE: Nitro Buggy or Nitro ST?
 

Well if you are running in sand and snow I would get an ST.

RE: Nitro Buggy or Nitro ST?
 

I sold my st after i got my buggy. I find it is a better basher and has better control and more torque.

I have decided to go with the ST. My lhs has lots of support for HPI products and I dont think I've ever seen anything for Ofna. Plus the ST seems like it would have better ground clearance for the sand at the beach. Thanks for the suggestions!
