What to get next...

[griemar]

Been saving up for my next rig and not sure what I should get. I been looking at the Savy XL 5.9 (of course), HPI Hellfire, Team Losi 8ight 1/8 4WD Competition Buggy Kit and the OFNA Hyper 8 RTR w/Macstar .28 (w/FREE Hyper 8.5 Conversion Kit!).

I bash more than i race, but I want something more stable and not so top heavy. Yet I love the Savy's and have heard mostly good things about the Savy XL. The Hellfire seems to be a nice "middle of the road" rig that will be capable on the track, yet still fun to bash with. As for the buggies, I've never owned one, but I have watched them many a times and love the handling on them.

Any thoughts or opinions? Also, please keep to the facts. No offence, but I want to hear from people that either have owned or still do own any of these rigs. Hear say is one thing, experience is another

Thanks

What do you currently have? And do you want to get into racing more?

Right now i have 2 rigs. I have a somewhat upgraded savy 25 and an associated GT2. I havent run my GT2 since last year. As far as getting more into racing, I would like to, but being in NJ, tracks are hard to come by. the nearest track I have found so far is about 2 hrs away back in PA. BUT, what i'm looking for is a rig that can take a days worth of bashing, yet still competative for the weekends when i goto the track. As much as I hate to say it, the XL is starting to take a back seat and I'm leaning more twards the Hellfire or the buggies.

Look into the MGT's, I like them personally, and they are also pretty durable.

I would look more into a MT if you aren't gonna be racing. A truggy could do for speed and durability. For an MT, look at an MGT or an LST/LST/XXL/Raminator/Aftershock. If you want a truggy, I've always been looking at an MBX5T. I've always trusted Mugen Seiki for durability. If you already have a Savage, I would look look into a different type of RC. Maybe a mini?

Find you a Jammin truggy or buggy. They are bulletproof bashers and can make the leap to the track when you are ready.
