It is currently being sold by OFNA as the Ravager. It is a very solid albeit heavy buggy and a great learner's ride. Parts are more available than Mugen, XRay and other exotic buggies. (I have a 9.5 Pro and a Kyosho MP777 SP2 and when the engine in my 777 died I raced my old 9.5 with a Pico Race in it and TQ'd. The funny thing was that on that bumpy track the heavier buggy ran smoother.)

The car is very durable and stable in the rough. Why not just ask the guy your purchasing it from to tell you what all to watch out for and what parts may wear out.

the jammin is NOT a 9.5 with mods.
its 100% different vehicle altogether.
anyway, get the 9.5 if all you wanna do is bash, but just make sure you can get parts for it. which i highly doubt you can. it was hard enough to get parts 2 years ago. let alone now, when the buggy has been discontinued for 2 years.

As ArCee has already stated the 9.5 is MORE than any bashing buggy.. very underated IMHO. I won a 2 track points series with one.
You can get parts for it as it IS being sold as the Ravager and Violator.
Berkky....might want to get your facts straight.
