The hyper 7 pbs is BY FAR the better buggy. It is race ready and also comes with a extremely fast Hyper 8-Port engine. It also includes a starter box, so its a pretty good deal. Hyper 7 BY FAR!

Alot of the screws are extremely tight, and the allen heads are sometimes not punched too good making it easy to strip the screw out. The ones you really need to watch are in the center "spider diff". If you strip one they are very hard to find. 2.5x22 mm. Other than that you can do a mod to the front upper arms to get more caster adjustment, but I still like mine with the stock setup for most conditions. Another thing is the motor. Before break in its also really tight, and hard for the included starterbox to turn over. Just preheat the motor with a blow dryer. Have fun:hi:

After my 6th tank the starter box finally had enough power to start the motor and now it seems to work fine. Then I had problems with the front brake locking up , I found it to be the two screws that hold the brake pads were too tight and binding the brakes. otherwise so far so good.
