need some advice on buggys

[ejesavage]

Hey guys,I want to buy me a buggy to race.I'm looking at a associated rc8 in kit form,a losi 8 kit form,ofna jammin'x1cr team edition.Any info on one or all would be very apreciated.

[pottsgroverc]

All three are good, I have the Losi and love it. Pick which ever one you like and you can get parts easiest for. Losi has a lot of parts and are popular, but I know parts can be a problem in some places because of their distribution set-up.

[pedeboi364]

all are very race-resricted buggies...do u plan on doing any bashing and if so how much??

[bigmatt]

I got the hyper 8.5 and love it. very tunable,parts easy to get bullet proof

[pedeboi364]

^^^^^^^ exactly

[ejesavage]

thanks for the help guys,and i'm not going to be bashing,at least I don't plan on it,but sometimes hard to resist!

[pedeboi364]

in that case, i'd check out the jammin' buggies, the losi 8ight, and the AE rc8

[jonelzoe]

The Ultra LX One is grat for bashing and you can also race wiht it

[ejesavage]

after all the time and research Iput into a buggy I got a great deal on a losi eight-t truggy,could'nt pass it up.So i'm a be racing in the truggy class!Only one problem,does anybody know where I can get a hauler bag big enough to get my new truggy in,along with the rest of my equipment?

[pedeboi364]

lol, u could use ur luggage bags... um, i think racers edge might have one big enough, but for sure wing tote has you covered...

[jonelzoe]

you could get a rubbermaid bin

[pedeboi364]

lol, so true... but that won't work for racers...

[ejesavage]

looks like your right about the wing tote,did some research and found that you can get a lst2 in that thing,and it's around 50-60 bucks.sweet! picking mine up this weekend. thanks for the help!

[jonelzoe]

some $$$ bins have wheels but ur right

[pedeboi364]

no problem... you have any questions PM me or jonelzoe...

[jonelzoe]

pedebois a beter choice :D

[pedeboi364]

lol, probably true, but jonelzoe is the one with the buggy...i only got a pede and rc18t (and soon a t-maxx, lol)

[KID]

Who said rubber-maids ain't for racers............lol

[jonelzoe]

im gona soon have an E-Maxx :D :D :D :D

[pedeboi364]

lol... i have a rubbermaid parts bin but i don't race.... so u R getting the e-maxx??? cool!!!

[jonelzoe]

yup my parents r fine with it so i just have to save up on $$$$ :D

[pedeboi364]

lol, that will take a fair amount of time if u do it rite :D trust me, li-po and brushless are amazing...

[jonelzoe]

yah but i still want the waterproof factor

[ejesavage]

you can get the lipo-brushless combo and still have the waterproof electronics the maxx comes with, just switch 'em out when you get the urge to drive thru the deepest mudhole you can find!

[pedeboi364]

^^^ ya, a brushless motor is more "water proof" than a brushed motor... on the flipsyde (sry RCD) a BL ESC is less water proof. I just put a plastic bag around all my electronics (minus the batt.) and making sure that everything is well shrink-wrapped, simply tying the open part of the bag with a zip-tie or rubber band works fine for me... and i've put my 4300s thru quite a lot

[jonelzoe]

k when i get it ill do that :D

[pedeboi364]

LOL, have fun saving up that much money and then blowing it on the maxx... if i were u i'd save a good 2-3K and just do an all-out project truck :D

[jonelzoe]

sure just give me a few years :D

[pedeboi364]

LOL, that would take some hella man power to save up that much $ over that long a period of time... i'd die

[jonelzoe]

yah i havent even started my umpiring jiob and i know what im going to buy :D

[ejesavage]

hey u could take out a loan for it, u may need co-signer, but then again most people make payments on cars they can actually climb into and drive

[ofnapitman25]

Three words Ultra X One. its a great buggie for the price

[jonelzoe]

it is i have 1 also

[ofnapitman25]

the ofna lx one is a very good buggie
