Default 1/8 scale rtr buggy, help me choose

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and looking for opinions on which 1/8 scale rtr buggy to buy for bashing/lite racing. I have narrowed it down to the Arrma Typhon, and HPI trophy flux. Only looking to spend around $450. Which do you suggest?

Take a look at the associated rc8.2e.

At one of my local track the typhons have been tearing it up. It's a parking lot track so the surface is concrete. But those typhons have been beating all the big name buggies, losi, tekno etc. And yes all the guys in the 1/8th buggy class can drive. Just something about the size of the track and surface that seems to give those Typhons the edge. They all have aftermarket steering servos and about half of them have different esc/motor combos than stock but a few of them are still running the stock esc/motor.
