Unless your me, you'll be replacing stuff just from it wearing out rather than breaking.

i think most any 8th scale is is the way to go there are so many to choose from right now my personal experience is the the revo is a money pit since i been racing 8th scale im spending about 75% less money on stupid stuff and the rest for fuel and tires.

The only thing I ever broke on my buggy was the wing mount.... actually I just sheared the screws off in the wing mount. That was after countless jumps off of the big ramp at woodridge a while back. They are tanks.

I estimate that I missed out on $200 to $300 by NOT parting out my supermaxx... but the frustration and cost of shipping things to a bunch of different people, and having stuff left over, etc, makes up for that difference.

you need to ask yourself,
if you are going to race or bash... Buggies are not really made for bashing, yes they can do it somewhat. But they are made and geared for the track. They are not made to go to the construction pit and jump around. Remember they have a low ground clearance, and grass really slows them down and overeat the engine quickly. So before you make any decisions make sure you want to make the switch to racing mostly. If not save up cash and buy a used buggy cheap and work your way up. This way you keep your revo for bashing and have a cheap buggy to see if you like scale or not. Why drop a ton of money on a scale and your not sure if you will like it... Just some things to think about.
