Narrowed it down to... four?! OMD

[jjl5590]

Ok this is it, I've narrowed it down as best I can. But I just can't friggin decide! I've never owned a buggy before, only Revo's.
All of these buggys listed are rollers, that I will convert to electric using RCM parts.

I don't race, only bash, and I bash quite hard. I also like to do speed runs, and i'm a bit of a speed freak. I'd like to be able to achieve 80+mph. I managed around 65mph in my E-Revo, but I got bored of that quickly! Too slow!

Anyways, here goes...


Hobao Hyper 7 TQ - £150 new

Hobao Hyper 8 Pro - £100 used

Mugen MBX5R - £150 used

Associated RC8 - £125 used


I've got the sellers waiting on me for my answer, but I don't know which one to go for!

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

if i were u i would get the team associated rc8. i have heard great things about them and they are good bashers, not only track like some other cars.

RC8, it's the most current tech and is a great buggy.

Well I decided to get the Hyper 8, because I've heard great things about them. I've just heard too many people say that the RC8 breaks way too easily.
Anyway here is the Hyper 8 sale, I got it for £90, do you think I did alright?

No, not really. That chassis design is old. You will never get it to handle as good as the current race buggies. The RC8 is very durable IF you know how to wrench and drive.

I dont care about handling at all
