first buggy

[dudereally!]

hi i am new to the nitro buggy seen...i dont now anything about buggys so all help is appresiated... i was thing about buying the hyper 9 when it comes out

[Steve.M]

Well what do you plan on doing with it ?

Racing?
Bashing?

If your just bashing, theres no need to spend the money on the Hyper 9. They Hyper 7 and 8 are still VERY capable platforms.

[dudereally!]

bashing and maby a little racing

[Steve.M]

Go with a Hyper 7 PBS or an 8 RTR or 8.5.

They will be PLENTY good for bashing and will still hold their own on the track.

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

If Your Going To Spend That Kind Of Money Go With The Nine Keep Up To Date With Whats Going On Just Buy Extra Tires For Doing Dounuts In The Street Like I Do With My 8ight Fun To Play With And Takes Very Little To Be Able To Race. If You Really Want To Bash Buy A Monster Truck

[dudereally!]

ok do you guys...And girls have any tips that i can use:D

[Steve.M]

Dont forget to buy extra glow plugs, batteries for your glow igniter, rags, fuel, tools, extra parts etc.

[ak_rider]

what is a good glow plug for alaska?:p

[jonelzoe]

if u want speed go for an Ultra LX One

[pedeboi364]

if u want speed get a CEN matrix and the novak bl conversion. if thats not u, id say grab a jammin or tamiya buggy

[KID]

I dont think tamiya makes an 1/8 buggy.

[jonelzoe]

also whats your price range :confused:

[pedeboi364]

^^^^ true about the tamiya 1/8 buggy, i was thinking along the lines of the 1/10 dark impact (i know there are nitro versions, i just forget the names) and the other buggies in that area of tamiya....

[dudereally!]

1000 is the max

[OldSchoolRC]

I dont think tamiya makes an 1/8 buggy.

Not yet...keep your eye out though, where there's 1/8 truggy (2 now), there's usually 1/8 buggy.

[focus07]

1000 dollars? With that kinda money I would go for a Losi 8 or a Associated RC8. You can get both as a kit or RTR. Both RTR's come with everything you need except batteries and fuel. Get some extra tires for racing and keep the stock ones for bashing. Not sure which glow plugs would work best for Alaskan weather . And good luck and have fun!

[focus07]

The Hyper 9 would be a great choice as well but I don't think it'll fall into your 1000 dollar max. Unless you wait until the RTR comes out.

[dudereally!]

think i might what for the 9 RTR:cool:

[jonelzoe]

$1000 :eek: WOW go with the Baja 5b

[pedeboi364]

^^^ then he needs more $$$$ for gas and things... i'd say the hyper 9, losi 8ight, or AE RC8 are the best choices (jammin' X1 is my fourth idea)

[dudereally!]

is the losi 8 good

[pedeboi364]

r u serious?????^^^^ the losi 8ight is the in the top 3 best buggies right now as far as i'm concerned (also ofna hyper 9 and AE RC8)

[dudereally!]

isnt the assosiated buggy expensive

[Been 2780]

i think the associated buggy is expensive...at least for me anyways...

[ofnapitman25]

the lx one is a very good racing a bashing buggie

[jonelzoe]

1000 is the max

i want that much $$ i say get an lx 1 and upgrade till your pockets are drained

[ofnapitman25]

the ultra lx one is a fast and duribile buggie for bashing ang racing.

[LSXEric]

Racing; Jammin x1/x1x, losi 8ight, assoc RC8. Bashing; LX1, ravenger 4.6, violater 9.5, thunder tiger EB2. This is not all of them but my favorites. Any rtr buggy should do u good. But what do i know im a truggy guy:confused::D

[Hyper Rusty]

personally i'd go with the LX1, hyper 8, or Jammin X1X. my pick would be the hyper 8. its a great buggy for bashing and racing. any buggy from ofna would be great. but i wouldn't spend all my money on the car and not have enough for hop ups and other stuff for the track that you'll need.

[Taylor]

If you think about it you can buy 1 gallon of nitro for 25 dollars and 6 gallons of regular gas for 25 dollars, sure the baja 5b sucks more fuel but their is now way in a month to use 6 gallons a gas unless you use all of any free time running it. if you don't really want to race go with the baja its as durable as crap and is BBIIIGGGG!!!

[randypogue]

the exceed hyperspeed buggie is a good car. only 120 bucks for the buggie and its all put together so all you have to do is put fuel in it and break it in. when tuneing this buggy the needles are a little finicky to get it just right but a long time online you can get it figured out. and with 15 dollars you can get the nitro starter kit and it comes with fuel bottle, glow plug ignitr, wrenches, and a couple of screw drivers. hope this helps

Remember, you get what you pay for. Outside of performance, parts support should always be considered.
