im a big fan of my team durango DEX408.

there are extreme cases on both ends of the price points...caster being one on the good end..but i think choosing a buggy depends on the person and their driving style and the availability of parts as well. i found the Mugen to work well with how I drive and is super solid,

Yep, however, if the car is "super solid" then parts supply becomes irrelevant. I have had to scale back on parts in the US just because we do not need them. We used to stock 50 of everything minimum for the 1/8 and realized that it is pointless to do even though we have grown the customer base annually.

Currently, the part to break for us is the wing mount. Our front arms are now fairly bulletproof as they became the weakpoint with the redesign of the turnbuckles. With their redesign, the car is solid unless you hit something that doesn't move.

I will refrain from the secret to how to make parts availability 100% irrelevant.

LOL, *I* won't: Park it on the shelf!

That might work for other brands. Mine is buy a second car out of the gate. Then you have 1 of everything at a cheaper price, then you need a few parts here and there, but not going home if that crazy thing happens.

The best way to not break parts while actually driving is: DON'T WRECK!

But, then again, if your not wrecking, your not going fast enough

The flip of that is if you wreck a lot your going too fast

No such thing as an absolute best. However I wouldn't recommend you get a RTR since you'll miss the learning curve of actually knowing your vehicle.

Losi8, parts available everywhere. These are very tough buggies and handle great, plus parts don't break the bank.

No one here runs Caster any more. They got tired of putting Mugen parts on it. So they just bought Mugens. You get what you pay for. The AE you mentioned is also one of the best supported every where you go.If you buy Mugen,AE,TLR,HB,Kyosho,Tekno and Xray you should be happy.

I switched to SOAR Seiki (both e-buggy and nitro buggy) and I am super happy with them. Amazing cars. Tons of steering and very tough. I highly recommend.
