Like I said I started racing in RC oval in 1987 where was you?
I have raced every type of RC that is to be had, I work for a company that sells Kart racing chassis
www.wardkarting.com
Search for what?
Keep talking to make yourself feel better about the POS you bought, and by the time you get everything replaced you could of bought the best of the best
Seems to me im not the only one to think this, maybe get your head out of the sand

mmmm... 1987 man that was a good year! What, you think i just started this., those were our nitro drag days. Nothing you buy ever comes with the best stuff on it, why do you think they sell hop ups. Sorry these arent go karts were talking about and nothing in 1987 was built the way these rc's are built today... your to far gone.

Truth is the ECX is just a basher, and if your serious about racing, then look at another car

So Oval, what would you consider the best nitro 1/8 buggy for the price point? Once again keeping in mind my earlier stated requirements?

So after doing a lot of googling and being unable to find any useful non-biased info on this platform I was hoping someone here would have one. I am thinking of venturing into the 1/8 Nitro buggy racing and am looking for my first Nitro. I raced 2wd mod short course last year and enjoyed it but am looking for the next challenge. Our local store provides support for a few but this is the one that has somewhat caught my attention but I want to make sure I am not throwing away my money. My basic requirements are
1. Nitro Buggy
2. Durable (my associated sc10 has been a pain in the wallet)
3. Competitive
1. Nitro Buggy
2. Durable (my associated sc10 has been a pain in the wallet)
3. Competitive
HB D8 Hara
Durango
JQ "The Car"
SWorks
If you want an RTR, its hard to beat the JQ

But the Hara D8 can be had for 389.00 which is a bargain, and no one can argue the success of the car

Old thread
But
I'm still gonna chime In....
I just recently bought a NIB revenge type E
And i did it just because so many people kept saying
"You can't race those hobby grade ecx RCz ".....
that kinda stuff drives me to prove them wrong. ..
I immediately yanked the fuze 2500 out of it and put a castle 1515 with MMP ESC
And a set of ofna shocks. ..
I run it everyday on 6s venom batteries.
The thing is a ripper .....
It will jump 40 ft and land on tires MOST of the time .....
If it doesn't I've done something wrong ...
I'm no "RC RACER " but I plan to take it to the track soon as Weather permits....
I will condition myself and the RC vehicle and I will be competitive with all the other
"Race grade" RCs ......
I was on the fence about which RC buggy to buy at first ...
I looked at xray, mugen, and serpent ........
at the end of the day a person will spend close to the same in "upgrade or hopups"
On any of them
I can't wait to see how this thing does on "the track "
If it's half as durable as the torment I'll be surprised
I will make sure I get it on video ...
