I got an OFNA Hyper 7 PBS for my first 1/8th scale. It has a Macstar 28 that has been very solid through the first two gallons. I did have to ditch the pullstart and get a starter box, but I like it much better that way. All I've busted were shock towers, parts are cheap, and it's a better car than I am a driver. I'm learning a lot about set up, etc. I did replace the entire radio system with real servos, a spektrum system and a five cell battery pack.

CEN and GS racing both make decent RTR thats cheap. But if there is any chance your gonna want to race a little more competitively I would think about a kit. Hot Bodies D8 is a good choice, its cheap, and has lots of upgrades. Only thing is, if you get a kit, you still need to spend the extra cash on electronics and engine.

that losi is a damn nice RTR. If it comes with the 3port sh with the 14mm crank it will be enough power on short to medium tracks. plus Sh engines are about the easiest motors to tune.Coming with a starterbox and decent radio gear IMO this is the best way to get into 1/8th (and Im not a losi fan). Just buy some tires and hit the track.
GRP isnt falling apart they are done! mario rossi was one of the main shareholders and he sold out and left. Then the italian paper were reporting GRP were filing for bankrupcy.
