New to the world of rc rigs been working with a basher an my crawler.....but I'm looking for a buggy for dirt racing for my son.. I myself would enjoy being able to play with shocks suspension,gears an set up .. something like a 3s or 4s they seem to be faster on bashers .. so if anyone has one to sell we would be interested
Thanks...
 

Buy THIS! 👆!!! It has all the adjustments and allows all the tinkering you'd want. Parts are avail and they are SOLID RCs! 😎

What sort of racing are you looking to get into?
If you are loking for a buggy to bash, you should be looking at 1/8th scale. You can run them on 3-4s.
If you want something to race on a track, you need to be mindful of track and class rules.

1/10 scale buggies battery trays typically can't hold a 3s battery because they aren't allowed on many tracks. 2s is the limit.
1/10 scale buggy on a groomed track is nice! But in real rough stuff in a back yard, not as fun as a MT or 1/8 scale with better clearance.

1/8 scale is bigger, faster, runs 3-4s...
Typically not run on indoor tracks though.
They are a total blast on an outdoor track with a few friends tho! 😍

It really depends on what you want to do and if you see yourself headed to a track (and their rules).

Are you looking to race at a local RC track? It 3s and 4s are designated for 1/8 scale racing. Is that what you are looking for? Also, the biggest question is, what is your budget?
 
If you are looking for a 1/8th scale buggy I don't have anytjing for sale since the scene near me is all indoor clay tracks now. And I'll wait til I have met the requiremrnts to sell here before I do anything to break the rules. And once I do meet those requirements, i will only advertise items for sale in the classifieds section, and not on the open forum because I don't want to break the forum rules that I am off to read up on right now! 😁
