I was going through the local classifieds here in Okinawa and I saw an add for an 1/8 scale buggy for sale "hardly used" and they were right.....I picked up a Hot Bodies Lightning 2 for $125....so not a bad score for the price?

Wow, it does look almost new. That's one heck of a score man. The only 1/8th I've ever seen that cheap was a red cat racing buggy with a small engine (.15 or .18) that appeared to be very neglected.

I'd roll that for sure man, congratulations on the find.
 
Wow, score! Nice buggy. Those buggies are tough as nails. A buddy of mine races one, he has the Trinity Ex-Tech .21 full mod in it. He is a decent driver but I have seen thar buggy slam into walls at well over 30 mph all day long without breaking. He has way more engine than driving ability!lol
