Looking for a new buggy! Please help.

Ok, so I'm in the market for a new buggy! Looking to go 1/8 4wd. I'm looking at the B44.1 the hot bodies Ve8, the new axial Exo buggy, and the Duratrax DXR8-e. Any suggestions or comments on them? I would like to start racing. I'm leaning towards the Associated B44.1. Mainly because I know the name so well. What do you think? Thanks!

Check out the Losi 8ight.

Are you looking for an electric buggy? If so, HPI makes one with their Flux ESC/motor combo.

Well, if you want to race, there is no class for the Axial buggy, well atleast not near me., The B44.1 is 1/10th scale and i heard they are very fragile. The duratrax looks like a pretty nice rig, but I've never seen anyone with one, since its a pretty new car. Also, some people look away from the Ve8 because it has a all plastic chassis, but i have no idea if its a prob. or not. I drive a Team Associated RC8.2e, great buggy and you like the brand. The top two buggies i see at my local tracks are the Losi 8ight and the associated ones. Also Ofna makes a prety good buggy too. Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks, yeah I realized the B44.1 was 1/10 after. I really like the RC8.2e but it's a little out of my price range. I was looking to stay under 400 for the kit.

For electric I would look at the Hyper 9E or Hyper Star. For Nitro Id look at the Losi 8ight or the Mugen MBX6.
