I wanted to get an 8th scale EBuggy that comes in a kit and was trying to figure out which would be the best for a rookie but that can run well on the track.

I have been out of the hobby for a while but I had a MBX6E previously but it came built and I had a local shop that did most of the service on it. I want to build a kit so I can do mods and repairs myself and have more confidence in it. I love the MBX7 but I dont think it comes as a kit.

Thanks

The MBX7R is a kit I believe and not assembled for you, many other good kits out there like the Losi 3.0 and the Tekno EB48 series cars

I have a Losi 8ight e 3.0 rtr. Comes with everything but a battery. Had a heck of a time with the suspension but it's a decent car overall.

MBX7r is a kit you have to build yourself.

If you liked the MBX6 you'll love the MBX7R, its a perfect first build.

If you plan on racing, go to the track you will visit and see what others are running. When you start racing, having a car that others run will be extremely helpful. Not only in repair and parts but set up.
As far as kits for beginners, the Tekno is very durable. You want to be on the track not in the pits repairing. Mugen is another brand that seems durable and popular.
Which ever way you go, take you time building and make sure everything moves freely and is the same left to right on the car.
