i'm also in the same search of getting a new buggy, from what i've being looking around i'm even more confused now. i first wanted a losi 2, and now i'm not shure between the new 811 serpent batch, the kyosho mp9, the jq (THE CAR), and durango dnx408, if any of you could give us some feed back i will apprecate it too.
the thing is on this kind of threads is that theres never any clonclusion besides get what you want to get, so driving experiences will be very usefull

MP9 cost way to much and the Durango and JQ cars are too new for me to want to get one.
You have to find what matches your driving styles, buggies are a different breed of racing machine. No 2 are alike, some liked to be pushed some dont, some like it rough and some dont (you get it). To me its not about what looks good its what I can drive the fastest.

totally get it, that why i'm also asking you to feed back the driving styles of your cars, a year ago i got an xb808, but never felt confortable with it but i did with the losi 2.0, which is more my driving style but i would like something i could push a little bit more than the losi one.

ok...You say that you like the way a Losi drives...me too. I just recently switched to mugens back in Feb from Losi 2.0. The mbx6t which is the truggy, feels super planted or you can set it up to drift it too! Best of both worlds there. The MBX6T is great in the rough stuff also and very durable like the losi. The mbx6 Mugen buggy drives quite like the Losi 2.0 but the Mugen likes to be Flogged. The harder you drive it, it seems to drive better, it will straighten itself out and the rear doesnt indo on you on those hard landings. At least for me anyways, but setup has alot to do with this. The Mugen doesnt break loose in the rear end as much as the Losi either. If you like to push your driving style to get faster then I would say the Mugen. If slow is fast for you and you dont over steer and have a happy throttle finger then you might like the 2.0 or the HB D8. All of these are great buggies, just find which one fits your driving style. Hope this helps you a bit. - Ryan

Ryan in fact you did, thank you. that's what i'm looking for that kind of driving, have you had the oportunity to compare the mugen mbx 6 against the serpent one? i haven't even seen on track, for from what i've read seams the kind of car that fits my driving style, the mugen; so do you know the kind of driving style is the 811? 'cause that one is my other option and now ofcourse the mugen is.
thanx
