Default Maybe a buggie?

I was talkin to some kids over the internet who said buggies are fast on and off-road, and I want somethin that can do that. Can you guy sgive me some info on buggies, maybe why/why not to get it? I live in a place where most people just have electric and are crap trucks off-road and I have a big dirt area where I can make ramps and stuff. Please reply.
Thanks in advance!


P.S. I would like a RtR, and if you could list some buggy names that would be great

If you are after speed in both on and off the road, buggy is the real answer.

I'd go for a OFNA or KYOSHO. Yuor decision should be biased on sparepart support which you'll definately need with your future ramps

Say ur in a race and you get hit ( back side or front) how much damage can that cause...to either a truck or a buggy?

1/8 buggies are incredibly strong. Probably the strongest. I have seen countless videos of them jumping 2 story houses and massive 20ft jumps.

Heres a few to name,

- Ofna RTR LX pro .26 = $300
- Ofna RTR Hyper 7 .21 = $440
- Ofna RTR MBX .25 w/starterbox = $440

- Kyosho RTR Inferno .21 = $400

Out of them all i would prefer the Hyper 7. How much are you willing to spend on one of these?
