New to buggies and need help on my purchase?

[Throttle]

I have a chance to buy a very slightly used OFNA Hyper 7 RTR buggy for $275.00. It has the .21 4 port on it. I am wondering if it's a good deal? I think so, it's less than a year old and only about four tanks through it. Give me some pros and cons if you can. I'm only using it to bash. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

the 4 port is no where near the power of the 8 port. what else does it come with? I have the Hyper 7 PCR Pro and luv it! Is everything stock?

Yes its stock,what I really want to do with it is make it a rally car and some onroad use. Mostly to rally on my track I'm building.

Is it running pivot ball suspension??

I'm not sure, why?

I have a couple of PBS hyper 7's they both have PBS and I find it is more durable for what I do. The $275.00 isn't a bad price, but I don't think the 4 port is as powerfull as you may want. I would offer the guy $225.00 myself and see what he comes back at you with. The new Hyper7 with the 8 port is running from $435.00 up to $500.00. Hope this helps some what.

Hmm that may be difficult as I have heard that the wing is a big part in the buggy's handling that is if you take it off. I would want to jump the buggy too much so I would just look for another type car IMO. If you can do it the go for it!!
