now losi will be the strongest as well but he'll need to invest into some upgrades if he buys one.I love my losi's but my hyper drives on rails.

Nexx8 is a killer rig. Ive been running one for the last few weeks, and have logged over 6 hours of runtime on the car, indoors on a HARD pack clay track, and about 30 minutes of time on a large outdoor track. I have only replaced parts when needed. I have replaced stock parts with: A heavy duty front shock tower, Aluminum front upper and front lower arm holder, and the option chassis. I would have rather paid more for a car that had those parts out of the box, but adding them didnt hurt too bad, considering the car was less than $300.

The Nexx is balanced very nicely. For the money, IMO its currently one of the best buy's on the market. I like it so much, Im getting all the parts together to build a "pro kit" version.

on my losi i replaced the wheel hub bearing too freuently,cvd's wollowed out too quickly with all the settings on low.and the steering got sloppy quick.BUT it will be the strongest car u will ever own,just needs more maintenance than others,ALOT.but as long as you maitain it,it is an awesome ride.

these are really nice cars.I should be buying one soon.This in my opinion would probably be the better choice of the 3,it has a cheap price tag,tons of upgrades already and happens to be the best handling e-buggy to date right now.Also the fact being it's 259.99 at stormerhobbies.it can also use mechanical brakes.

Yes that to is a good car to run. All you really need is the aluminum skids.
And maybe long travel rear shocks.

I've been racing a Nexx8 for about a month now and am glad to say that I haven't "broken" any parts yet. I was a little worried because it seemed to be such a low cost buggy. I was mainly influenced to buy it because of the battery pack layout. The stock tire inserts are total junk, pick up some AKA units. The tires are basically knock-off proline calibers. The stock shock towers bend if they take hard enough of a hit, but they bend back without too much effort. For the price, It's hard to beat. Many of the Jammin parts can be used to upgrade, such as shock towers and hinge pins.
