Thanks for the help guy's, oh no doubt the driver is the main contributor to race wins, i'm now very tempted by this buggy, the only thing that puts me off slightly is the fact that there is newer versions with improved features although for the price i can't complain!

I'm sure a lot of pro drivers could drive any buggy quick within reason, and a lot of it goes on what deal they are offered.

I'm going to have a good think as I could wait a while and purchase a slightly newer buggy such as a losi 8ight or team associated rc8.

You should realy look at the Hot Bodies D8... this buggy is very good!! I've been racing HoBao products for the last four years, Hyper7 Pro,Hyper8/8.5 but, I swithed to D8 and I wont even look at the Hyper buggy anymore... this buggy is waaaaaayyyyyy better, this buggy is just that good... and you just can't beat the price!! :nod:
