Arrow Top 2 or 3, 8th scale buggies?

I maybe be looking to get one, just curious which ones are the best and/or most popular?

If you list two or three that is fine.

(Ex. If you're going to race Monster Truck, you'll probably want to go with Revo Platinum (arguably the best))

Thanks for the input!

Another one of these? SEARCH Losi 8ight 2.0, Mugen MBX6, and Associated RC8.

Everyone is going to have their own opinions. I'm sure every buggy on the planet will get mentioned. There are plenty of threads just like this one all over the place but I will go ahead and give my opinion anyway.

1. Mugen

2. Losi

3. Xray

And AE for 4

Well the big names areall good, losi ae and kyosho.

The Rc8b and 8ight 2.0 are popular choices cause parts are cheaper and readily available.

If you don't mind ordering parts look into the mp9. I see you have a yokomo so you know what I mean.

They are all pretty good, pick your flavor.

What is your budget and do you have any engines, servos, receivers or radios already?

In no particular order: Xray, Mugen, Losi, Associated, Kyosho and Hot Bodies. Those are the top brands in the buggy game right now.
As a side note the Tamiya car is doing good in Ryan Lutz's hands, but they are really new to the offroad nitro game so, personally I wouldn't get one of their cars until they have established themselves better.

+2 Thats the short list right there as long as the RC8 is the new RC8B version. No more searching needed. Now it all depends on your personal preference.
