I am thinking of buying an Ofna Ultra LX-One RTR. I would like some feedback from the gurus on whether this is a good choice or not. I am looking at upgrades, if needed, and whether it is a good car for some off road racing with friends...stuff like that. I have a Jato right now and it is great...it just doesn't grab the dirt like I would like it to. Opinions are welcome...thanks.

Losi 8B/T RTR

Hyper 7 Tq black will be something more into the racing feel without dropping big bucks if it's your 1st 1/8th buggy, built like a tank but to make it track worhty get some decent upgrade servos RTR stuff just doesn't handle well on track.

thanks for all the input. I noticed the price difference between the Ofna and the Losi 8 and was wondering if it was worth even messing with.

You guys are great! Thanks again.

I really like the look of the Mugen, but I can't talk the "finance manager"...errr...wife into putting that much into a unit all at once. Aren't they a little more expensive than the Ofna? Another thing is that the LHS doesn't carry any parts, so that means waiting for parts from the 'net.

Get the losi 8ight-2.0 rtr buggy.It has so much included it is a hard to beat price.They give a race platform,.21 engine,bumpbox,dx3s radio and so much more.You might see a noticable difference in price but there is a reason.

here is the link for the buggy http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ed-Starter-Box if not this one then get this one http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-4WD-RTR-Buggy both are good buggies bit i would lean to the losi still.BUT if you don't get the losi then get the jammin.

The losi has the all of the future upgrades you'll do to any other buggy in the future.

Totally agree, the servos are not that great and this is a 2006 buggy.

By far the best bet. You might pay more up front, but buy all of this stuff new with a roller. Lots saved. Competative right out of the box.

AND the motor can be converted to a turbo head motor with the turbo head conversion kit that only costs around 20$ i believe and get the re-11 pipe to make the engine roar and get good mileage.plugs might be a little more than others regular plugs but the added performance is worth it.

Kman,
I see what you're saying and I agree that the Losi would be the superior way to go. I just don't have quite the budget to handle the Losi right now. Is the Jammin that much different?

Anyone want to comment on the Ofna Picco or the Hyper 7 TQ black?
