Ok. More great feedback. I think I am back to a Hyper 7. Like I said I have already run electric for a couple of years. I already own a Spektrum radio that I would be using in the buggy. I agree the price on the Losi RTR is good for what you get, it is still high. Knowing I can get the TQ Black for $269 and I already have a Spektrum radio, AMB transponder, I go back to my original questions. I still believe the driver is a more important factor than the car. Until I can consistently get around the track with my times all being within a half a second of each other a buggy set up for the track, not bashing, is all I want and need. This hobby is supposed to be about fun. I don't know about you guys but my track takes my money, it doesn't give any back for a good result. Anyway...
-Besides the Hyper 7, what exactly will I need? Fuel, started box, etc.
I already know I will be getting a NiMH reciever pack in stead of buying a ton of AAs.
