I sold my 2 k3 buggies and now it is time to buy a new one. I have narrrowed it down to 3 choices and would like any expierence related input on them pros and cons or build tips.

team lsi 8ight

I have heard that steering servos break often. Is there a build tip to prevent this if this is true or is team losi looking into this.

Team Magic m1b

I have heard they are having breakage problems but they have sent out kits to prevent this. Are these extra parts fixing the breaking problems?

Kyosho 777 WC I have not heard about any problems but it is quite expensive, is it worth the money or is it over priced compared to the other cars.

thnks for the input.
 
Of the three I'd get the Kyosho, but it has no issues, and is a great buggy. IMO it is a bit over priced, but its a solid, great handling buggy. I have a MP777 SP1, well technically its my dads, but basically mine, and I love it. Another to look into is the Mugen MBX-5R. Its a bit cheaper than the Kyosho and also a great buggy. I have a MBX-5T. Also, check out the Xray XB8, another great buggy.

I have the MP777 (with white rims, you know). When i was going to buy a buggy, i was after the WC, but ###### i didn't take it, so i took the first of the series. I run it with a O.S VZ-B V-SPEC .21 engine and it' great. I was about to buy Sirio but man, the prices are too hot for me.
Good luck about your choice. I prefer the WC of Kyosho.
 
i have heard too many problems about the losi 8 as far as the outdrives wearin out super fast. I run a sp2 kyosho (upgraded WC) and i have had no issues out of it besides of the price. And with the kyosho you get alot of extras with the kit. Hope that helps
