Talking buggy tough enough?

Sup fellas? Hope this is the right place for this,anyway,I'm new to brushless power and want to convert an 8th scale buggy to brushless,not anything too new,but was wondering which buggies can handle the abuse,mainly concearned about diffs. I have a savage 25 w/mamba monster/2200kv on 5s and i've gone through 2 bodies,1 ring gear and 1 swingshaft and only have driven it 3 times. Man I love this thing! I'm wanting the buggy to build a short course truck using a slayer body.Any suggestions would help.thanks

I would look for a good deal on an mbx-5. They are very tough buggies that have plenty of spares floating around. You should be able to get 3 good buggies for the price of a single new buggy too so spares will not be an issue.

I'll sell you an MBX5R with tons of diff parts, and spares in general for $220 shipped.
