I'm buying a new car. Budget: $375 Suggestions?
I want something that can do off road well. My friend (who I regularly drive with) has a Jato 3.3, and I'd like to at least come close to his top speed off road. I was thinking either the OFNA Ravager, the OFNA Hyper 7, or an OFNA Comp XL. Which of these three is a faster, higher quality car? Or do you recommend another car?

Hyper 7
I bought myself a Hyper 7 PBS last Christmas for $399 with Mac .28 motor and I've been extremely happy with it. I run the crap out of it; on gallon number 4 so far, and everything has been solid. Busted the front shock mount once, and that was it. The engine is very reliable and easy to tune on 20%. Power is very good. I would think the Hyper 7 TQ is just as good. I have heard the Hyper .21 mill is excellent as well (although I think you want the 8 -port?)

The Ravager is crap, don't waste your money. Sorry, just being honest... I had one.
Of the 3 the Hyper 7 is the best, but it is a VERY "dated" design.
Do you plan to race, or just bash and play around?
There are a lot of good options out there, but honestly $375 won't get you much of a quality car.

You'll probably like the extra ground clearance of a Revo compared to a buggy. The Revo wont be as fast in stock form but you can always fix that later.

I just need a car to play around and bash with, I'm not looking to race or anything. I just sold my T maxx Pro .15, and I'm so done with monster trucks. They're slow, bulky, and unstable. My dream car would be a truggy, but I can't seem to find a quality one in my price range, so buggies are next in line.
So, scratch the ravager. The comp XL just ended on Ebay, so I guess that means a Hyper 7, or hyper 8 if I can get my hands on one. There also the option of the "OFNA Picco", but I don't really know much about that car. Remember, speed and durability are my top two concerns.

That gets you down to like $405 and they usually have free shipping.
Note that with a buggy, you're buddies Jato is in serious trouble... with a Truggy, the Jato is barely even a speed bump.
