A RTR buggy may be cheaper to get into at first, but in the long run you will up spending more than if you would of bought a race buggy to begin with, Ive been there, done that.
When I first got back into RC and 1/8th scale I bought a RTR hyper 7.
Within a month I replaced the motor, pipe, servos, radio, receiver pack, chassis braces, cnc steering knuckles, CVD's, bought a starter box, tires, on so on. I look back on it now, and cant believe how dumb I was for buying a RTR, not saying your dumb, just me, lol.
+1 on that....
i know so many people that did that and in the end spent so much more than me.
the other thing that u can do is by a used 8t roller for like $200 to $250 or u can buy a new one for $325 . 2 - good used servos for $100 -spektrum dx2 or 3 with a receiverfor $100 or a used futaba 3pk for $175-200 starter box $50 -i would only buy a new motor $200-300...or if u can find a good deal with a used race roller rtr.
