HPS Atomic Warhead Buggy's.

[harry-simpson91]

hey guys I'm new here and buying my first buggy soon.
have a couple of options:
this is my first one its a hsp 1/10th buggy
http://www.plaig.com.au/atomic.htm

as you can see it is 349 and a couple of bucks for postage..

this is my other option: it is a 1/8th gs avenger
http://www.frontlinehobbies.com.au/Shop/productDetails.aspx?productID=0096997

it costs 279 plus postage...

i am leaning towards the atomic at the moment because he can install all of the upgrades i want (failsafe, clutch, exhaust) and also do me a good deal all at once on the glow warmer kit as well as fuel also.

just basically wanting to know what is a better car.
i will only be driving it on grass and road and dirt, with no jumping at all. those are my needs.

thanks guys

you can get that 1/10th one for like $230 or so.

I have never heard of atomic. I would go with something brand-name. Hell, I would take Duratrax over that. At least I know there are parts available.

atomics like a knockoff company of redcat racing, which is pretty sad imo... DEFINATLY get something name brand, Hpi, Traxxas, Ofna, Ae, etc.. Otherwise youll have a hell of a time getting parts.

Don't be fooled by the speed claims or any other gimmicks that come with the knock off rc's...they are not worth it.

you can find better buggies in that price range that, check this out

I would recommend any of the above buggies over the ones you are considering.
