Yeah but think about it-$600 and you're racing, whereas with any other vehicle to make raceworthy you'll be up and over $1000 no time.

its really not that much money when u consider all of the stuff u will need to get the others running decently, basically the turmoil is the best outta the box RTR out there, it has most of the same parts as the pro

i dunno man u know my favorite brand but u must admit that its not a bad buggy for the price, Kadow and lil derek can win with it i think it breaks a bit more but it is still a fast buggy

The Sportwerks Turmoil is probably the best "Bang for your buck" that you listed. One thing that Sportwerks does that most other companies don't, is make their RTR version VERY close to the Pro version. The main differences being in Tires and engine. Most other companies make their RTR's with a lot less upgrades, to keep the cost down AND raise the amount you will have to pay when you are ready to upgrade to get more competative. The Jammin is a little more high end, but will cost a bit more. If you want to save a little over the Jammin, but want to go with Ofna, the Hyper 7's and Hyper 8's are good. You can usually find a decent Hyper 7 on e-bay or rcuniverse for around $250-$300, and be fairly competative.
Biggest thing to keep in mind, is parts availability. If you have limited access to a hobby shop (Too young to drive, Hobby shops too far, etc.), Check parts availability at the closest hobby shop to you. Being new to the hobby, you will probably break some parts, and it would quickly turn you away, if everytime something broke, you had to wait 3-5 days to get parts online.

i would try to look for a used RTR TTR eb4 s3 buggy, mike and I both have one and theyre great buggys and I have never broken anything on it yet. very strong and very durasble and a great competative buggy. I like the jammins but the parts wear out to fast.
