I now have the total price that I need to get my Hyper 7 going and it is around $460, and that is with cutting a few corners, but I refuse to cut corners on the motor/pipe. The thing that is starting to make me wander, is this thing going to be worth puttin gthat much into or am I just better off getting something RTR?
Any help?

If racing is the plan, I'd suggest getting a kit from who ever you choose. It seems there are too many good ones to narrow it down to one. I mean..look at the Amain of the 1/8 buggy Nationals. How many manufacturers were in it, like 9, or something like that. Might even be 10 different manufacturers.

I can yes, but I thought that would be more of a hasle. I'm going to go with the motor the Jason H sugjested, the Go tech 5port for $173, and the JP-1 pipe, unless I can find a good deal on something that is good that I can use for the time being.

The Turmoil was 401.00 with a motor from A-MAIN HOBBIES.

I'll put my .02 in for the AE RC8. I switched from a Hyper 7 to it and noticed a dramatic difference.

I did find this http://ofna.com/ravager.php $289 on ebay brand new.
Did I mention it is a POS?
I gave mine away... it was that bad.
Get a decent car from any manufacturer, you'll be much happier (and have more money left over) in the long run.

Ummmm... ok, I'm gonna break the rules... that's a POS. I had one. POS radio, POS engine, POS servos, car is loose no matter what you do to it, cheaply made, POS POS POS.

Its all about a Couple things
I dont think there is one good buggy. Its all about YOU
My List
1. Whats Popular at your Local Race Track. There will always be Parts, and Good Set Ups
2. What is Stocked at your Hobbie Shop of Choice? Whatever it is will be your best bet for the Buggy
3. Do you have there Truggy? If so, Get the buggy. PARTS
4. Looks in your Eyes. If you think its ugly, it wont be too good for you. If it can stay on Pace, its great. Plus its all about the driver.
5. As I Stated. Its all about the Driver!
