im assuming your tlkaing about engines and elctronics...

i would say for engines a v-spec, novarossi, or an RB

servos i would get futaba 9351 for steering and a futaba 9350

or ACE 1313 and ace 1015, both brands are great, futaba is just a little more expensive


Losi 8ight with v-spec

you can make alot of stuff work but the jr servos 9000t are hard to beat. plenty of power and a three year warn. dont get the s,speed, it will only cause you to countersteer so much that it will be harder to drive. the os vspec motor will run with the best, its only $285, and everyone will agree os makes the best carbs = easy to tune, great fuel milage. now you said that you were looking for qual. and when you go to a big race and look around this is whats most common = because it works

i gotta agree on the v-spec and JR servos.

the v-spec is the best bang for the buck imo.

i agree with this statement i just put the s in for steering and wow it was hard to get used to im thinking about putting it on my throttle and break and using the 9000t for steering

Cant run the 28zx if you want to race the buggy. on the 9000t's i had 2 new ones and hated them, couldnt hold a candle to a hitec 5955 for steering, 9351 is great for throtle/brake. yes the os is really good, they have fixed the bearing and case problems of the older one....now if they could just stop having issues with the rods nad carbs sticking on the 07 models they will be golden.

would a .28 be controllable in buggy is the question, I think you would be over-powered, it would take some getting used to, plus as chad stated, it isnt legal for racing. I like my RB ws7iii, it idles all day long, and is really fast paired with a TTR 2035 pipeset and a RB#6 plug with Werks 30% fuel, and it doesnt seem to be hard to tune, I had it really close when I let Czech hear it, I was suprised how easy it was to tune and how close I Was to where I needed to be, and how well it holds the tune/ consistency is key for a n00b IMO I would say go Ace 1015 for steering, and Ace 1313 for t/b for servos.......however im using a futaba s9351 for steering, and a JR 590z for t/b(POS) I do however have a pair of Air 358/359's I will have in my possesion soon, lmk if you are interested in them
