I'm looking into buying a buggy, what do u guys think of this one? Ofna 9.5 KP Violator Buggy RTR
 
I just bought the Hyper7 PCR. Guys at local race track love these buggies. Thing runs great. Hyper .21 is very powerful. Magazines have given this truck very high marks in detailed reviews.

I can't wait to race this Sunday.
 
Hyper 7

I own a 9.5 violator and it is a great buggy but people say it is not good for bashing. I love the EZ start system, works like a charm and the RTR engine is very easy to tune.

The PCR is supposed to be a solid machine and great for bashing. Depending on your budget you should choose.

Remember though, you will need to change the steering servo, dont even try running the buggy without changing the servo.
 
Let use now how you plan to use it, racing, hardcore bashing, or just light use. It is great for light use but seems to be a little light duty in the front end for hard bashing, and if you want to race you will need to mod the suspension it is to wide. My buddy has one and we are in the middle of changing it over to pbs for a more bash freindly rig, The king pin front end was not holding up. Hope this is of some help.
 
If you want a 9.5 that is stronger, get the 9.5 MBX, save the cash on having to change over later.
 
The hyper 7 pcr is great for bashing! It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!!!! Just got done beating the $hit out if it and didnt' break anything!
