I am looking for a good buggy that I could buy.I have never had a buggy but the closest thing I have had to a buggy would be a Traxxas Rustler.All of the companies that make buggies are none that I have ever bought off of and I wouldn't want to make a mistake and buy a bad buggy.So and brand names or even model names are links would help me.

Thanks,

I don't want a 1/8 scale buggy...first of it is to expensive...and second I don't want a reall bulky one.
 
Then I believe what your looking for, is a Stadium Truck...

Losi XXXNT
AE RC10GT
These are 2 most popular...
 
Nope I am looking for a buggy...like the Duratrax Axis...only another name brand.My cousin has the Duratrax Street Force (I think thats what it is called) and it is kinda crapy built. (If you ask me)
 
As far as I know, there aren't too many quality Nitro 1/10th scale "Buggies" to choose from.. Good luck in your search... :shrug:
 
I know that Kysho makes some as well as Ofna but I have never bought anyhtign from them for I don't know their quality.

if you want a buggy then go with an ofna pcr or pbs...they are quality..

if you buy duratrax you will get what you pay for.sounds to me you should stick with the st...you think 1/8 buggys are bulky lol..you should run one.I've never heard any one say that. now thats funny right there..

and like IMBROKEN said there is no quality 1/10 scale buggys out there

Holy crap I read it wong and said it wrong.I was thinking of somthing different.When I read 1/8 I was thingk Traxxas 1/6 Monster Buggy size.Maybe it is a 1/8 I am talkign about.I think a Duratrax Axis is a 1/8 come to think of it.So are there any good 1/8 scale buggies or should I ask that on the 1/8 scale buggy talk?
 
If your looking for a good 1/8 buggy and you're tight on cash go with the XTM X-Terminator. If you have a little extra cash go with the OFNA PCR or PBS like zandor said. I personally own an X-Terminator and I love it, but if you want to go with a buggy with a little more potential go for the OFNA. Both are great buggies. Good Luck!
 
Hotbodies lightning 2 is also a good buggy for money.
Look into it.
 
My bro ownes a 1/8 scale Hotbodies lightning 2 and it runs great. No probs on break in runs fine. Two things that i see you might not like is that its pull start and we both got blisters trying to start the thing for the first time. Second it only has one speed. Oh and they say the parts for it are kinda hard to find but he hasnt broken any thing yet so. It was really easy to break in compared to the experience w/ my t-maxx.
