Ofna Hyper 7 pbs or Savage

[Smurfola212]

Hey guys, another question. I want to kno which car i should get if I want it to go fast, jump high. I'm kinda moving towards the buggy, it looks badass. Put in ur .02, I need somebodys opinon. The Hyper has a .21 hyper 8 port and comes with a starter box. So sound on foo.

:normal: Smurfola:normal:

Is this your first r/c car?

If so definitely go for the savage, an awesome truck in every respect.

If you've been into r/c for a while and you think you can handle 1/8 scale buggy's, for the Ofna. You see, buggies are way harder to maintain than a truck would. They take such a beating and they are harder to clean. Also, lugging around the starter box when you wanna go bashing isn't very fun.

Just my 2 cents.

smurfola - i think its totally up to u, since i have known u a while on here, i think that u need to decide between a couple of factors.

Are u really into hopup? if so, the savage has tons, and u can keep upgrading. the buggy is going to be a more it is what it is kind of ride. if u do decide to go with a buggy, why not go with something besides an awful, i mean ofna. take a look at the lightening pro, and the GS storm pro. then u can build it too, which is half the fun, and pick out your own mill, ect.... i know u have a radio already, so u can use that too.

i think u might get bored with the savage after a while.

I'm pretty sure the hyper 7 is made by ho hoa (the same people that make the 8-port) OFNA just puts their name on other people's work.

I got a Hot Bodies Lightning Pro w/ Hyper .21 8-port race for about 5 bills. You could even sell the stock mill from the Lightning pro on ebay for $80. (same enegine that's in the savage)

I, however, have a local track that runs 1/8 scale buggies. That's WHY I bought a buggy. How about you? What's your local track run? Buggies aren't as fun as a Monster Trucks when you take them off the race track -- just so you know.

Also, what does your LHS stock for parts? stuff to think about

Now I have found just the opposite for me. I have a MT and a couple of buggies. I find the buggy layout one of the easiest to clean, disassemble and re-assemble. I can break down my buggy in 15 minutes and clean and rebuild in under an hour. Now my T-Maxx is another story. Dont get me wrong I love that little bastard but it so hard to work on because of the way its put togther. If you break a bulk head which is very common if you run the stock ones it takes like 30-35 minutes to tear it down enough to change them. The T-Maxx has WAY more parts then a buggy also. Just my experience.

VERY good point Rob!!!:clap:

Buggies are sliced bread if you have a track. The are not fun around the neighborhood as they are too fast and get broken. They get high centered easy not like a MT that can go over about anything. They do not perform like an on road while on the street so whats the point? If you get a buggy and dont have a track you will soon be looking to make one.

I own all types, Maxx's, 1/8 buggy, stampede, evaders and an older RS4 MT. I thought I would be happy with the Maxx but after going to the track and watching the nitro buggy guys race, I had to have one. My Maxx is collecting dust and I can't say enough about how much fun the buggy is (GS Storm .21). Don't get me wrong. There are times when nothing beats a monster truck. Most of the guys I know and many of the folks in these forums own more than one vehicle. Maybe it's all about variety. But for your first one I would go with a truck.
