Default 1/8th Buggy racing in Vic?

Hi all.

New to the site, I am looking at buying a 1/8th buggy and would like to know which clubs race them in Victoria?

Might even want to travel to NSW one day if I get good - what are some clubs in NSW that race 1/8th buggies?

Thank you!

welcome to the nitro addiction, before you go and buy a buggy goto your local club and ask people what they race and what buggys are supported in terms of parts. it will save u in the long run.

racing in NSW the website is

how much are you prepared to spend on a 1/8th buggy? you can get complete ready to run buggys starting from 600 and going up to the top of the range which can cost you from $885-$1164 with good ruged parts that wont brake very easly. heres a list of cars to choose from:
*Hobao Hyper7 TQ sports cost 600 RTR Wings N Things
*XR 7 PBS Race Buggy Package $931 from Hstore
*XR-7,PBS PRO GAS CAR 8 PORT P/S ENGINE $985 from Hstore
*XR 7 Pro Race Buggy Kit - unassembled $889 from Hstore
*XR-7 1/8 A.R.R. Gas Buggy W/2CH R/C PBS $955 from Hstore

http://www.hstore.com.au/HSTORE.asp check this shop out has a good range of buggy's from the sports to full competition, i myself would go for the top of the line so that you wont have to spend alot of money later on modifications. good luck
