what 1/8th scale do you own?

[cemeb4dk]

Hello all,

I am looking to purchase a new 1/8th scale for next year just wondering what you all have or want to have. I had a Ofna 9.5 MBX. Looking to get an xray xb8 or a kanai or a 777sp1

777sp1 or XB8... drool. I had a Hyper 7 and have a landmax 2 (Mp7.5 buggy based rally car) either the 777 or XB8 would be a good choice.

I would look into the xray buggy. Seeing it at the show and in the magazines it just really looks well built. Better than the other buggies in my opinion.

[cemeb4dk]

yes I like the xray my concern is parts availablity. There are pages of Kyosho parts on ebay with very few xray. I am sure this will improve with time. Does anyone know if Als or Leisure carries xray parts?

[snakebite46]

I'd say the XB8 is the way to go.........But your right about part availability. I'm still considering which of those two to get also. I'm leaning towards the 777 SP1 more because of the parts.

now I just found a website www.ultimatehobbies.com that has the Kanai 2 for 429.00 with free shipping.... decisions

[snakebite46]

That has some good prices on the kits. Thanks for posting that link =)

[cemeb4dk]

Let me know what you decide.

[rocco79]

Nice site! They have the Savage SS kit for under 300.oo, thats like 30.oo less then most other online stores and with free ground shipping to boot, thats a good deal.

I bought mine RTR from them in April for $369 with free shipping. They have the best deal around. I wonder how they can sell them for so cheap. I think the cost for the RTR is ~$370 for hobbyshops.

The Kyosho's are the popular buggy for the more serious racer. Ofna seems to be a good start out buggy especially their ultra and 9.5 series. Their Hyper series is mor erace orientated. But the 9.5 are good racers but super durable.

Yea, I got my RTR for free!!! I had to do some wheelin' and dealin' but I traded a guy some PC stuff for mine. I was at Venture Hobbies last night and they have the RTR Savage for like $409.00 and the SS Savage for $319.00. But then theres no tax on the internet purchase as well. Buying it for Ultimate Hobbies would end up saving you almost $50.00 on the SS.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

See, I don't understand how Ultimatehobbies can sell it for so cheap? Unless they are a distributor.

Ya im looking at the 7.5 kyosho sport RTR. I called Al's Hobby he said they have the buggy ($480)...(ebay i saw a auction for 400 shipped).... and Al's they carry the most parts for kyosho buggys. I didnt see it ultimatehobbies. What do u guys think? Inferno
