i want a truggy too!

[AC48]

That really sucks, I've run Xray and Kyosho and IMO the Xray is higher quality and drives much more predictable and smooth.

I don't see alot of Xray stuff around either. I am not really sure why. I spoke with our LHS and they told me that it was hard to get parts and that as far as the average hobby shop patron goes they are not looking to spend that kind of cash. He said 90% of the folks that come in the shop are first timers or parents looking to get their kids something cool and that they usually are not willing to drop that kind of cash all at once. They can order you an XRAY but they do not readily stock parts for them. I guess it is all about demographics. In fact my LHS doesn't stock anything "High End" on the shelf. It is too expensive to have just sitting on the shelf. All the kits are ordered on a person by person basis.

It is almost unheard of around here for buggy racers to run XRay,unfortunately.

I know of a few that run up at Leisure Hours, do you run there?

I don't mean to offend you by what I am about to say but...it's a POS, IMHO. A friend of mine had one and it just downright sucked on track.

 

[novacrzy]

and maybe it is your friends driving

 

[psunitro]

LOL, no Hellfires pretty much suck compared to what else is out there in their price range.

 

[vbgagnon]

The hellfires were a HUGE FLOP! If you gonna spend some serious coin on a race ready rig go with one of the big 3. Save the headaches!

 

[novacrzy]

what are the big 3

what about the Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium Pro is that any good

 

[vbgagnon]

Kyosho Inferno ST-R, Mugen MBX5T Prospec, and the Jammin CRT

 

[novacrzy]

are all of these truggies because I want a truggie I know that just dont know what one to get Kyosho Inferno ST-R, Mugen MBX5T Prospec, and the Jammin CRT

from what I have heard that hpi and hb are the same company and if that is so why is the hellfire crap and the lightning not to bad, why are they not both crap what is the difference other than a couple aluminum parts

Ummm, not hardly. I've yet to read or see anything good about the hellfire. Check out some other forums and you will see it's about as great a performer as a toilet seat.

Hey, toilet seats come in pretty handy sometimes!

HB and hpi are under one roof for customer service and thats about it. They are still two different companies. If you want to get the hellfire go right ahead, but when you come back bitching about certain things WE WILL SAY I TOLD YOU SO!
