Very well said Michy! I totally agree!!!!


to add to what mich said. Pick a ride that fits your wallet too... Buggies like the xray and sp2 are amazing bugs but there parts retail a little higher than some others on the market

It all depends on what you want and it all comes down to how well you drive. Look at what your buddy's are driving and what other people have at the track because if you brake and need a part somebody will have it

I think the Kyosha, Mugen, and XRay are all great buggies. But like someone else posted, a great driver is most likely going to win no mater which brand he/she drives. Thats why for me, being the 1/8 buggy boof that I am, price had alot to do with my selection and I chose a mayhem. I didnt want to cut my teeth with the most expensive 1/8th scale out there not knowing if id even like the class. For the money its a very durable buggy that has a great setup right out of the box. And now theres plenty of hop up parts for it if you need an upgrade or want that bling. Its the sleeper of the class...

cars are all good.
had a few friends that had jammin, and the car kept letting them down.
mayhem pros are great. i get beat the time by them.

i will say i have yet to NOT finish a race because of my xb8.... motor yea... but not the car.

that in itself speaks volumes. worth the price to me right there.

My honest opinion. The K-car is the best. I just started driving the car back in Sept and I love how evrything works together and complitments itself in terms of engineering and evolution. The Mugen is world champion for a reason and it is also an awesome car. I Started racing with one and the parts are there and easy to get same as the Kyosho. The Jammin is a great car also, but it is plagued by fast wearing parts and parts availablity is hard to come by and they are not the cheapest either. Kyosho parts have come down in price aswell. The TTR is not for everybody and needs a different chassis to make it easier to drive, but it is a durable buggy and parts are cheap and very afordable. The Mayham is a great starting car and very capable in the right hands, it does need some work to be up to snuff, but not much. The Newest version of the lastest GS buggy is supposed to be good. A new buggy that is on the verge of being released is called, Caster racing ZX-1. This buggy is going to be VERY affordable and competative, it resembles a Mugen X5 and there is a Pro version.

I agree with those 3 100% and will add if you want a budget racer the Jammin and a used 7.5 K3 would be up there too.
