Ofna's r ur cheapest bet that u can actually get parts for. just remember u get what u pay for. losi 2.0 r spost to be really good depending on the motor and other ass. u get for them, but lots of $$ in a good race buggy

would a 1/8 thunder tiger eb-4 s3 be any good to start with

Not really. If money is the problem, think about a Hyper 8.5 or HB D8. The best thing, for now, is to check the LHS fors spares and such. And go to the track and see what they'er running. Make sure and have fun!!!

with the thunder tiger eb4 s3 i can get parts easy for it and i can get free shipping on it because orders over $500 postage is on them.

the buggy is $425 which is in my price range im on a budget of $550
and i want to make sure i have a few spares.

there are many many 1/6 scale buggys you can get for $550 .. my local hobby store has last years Losi8 on sale now for $525.. the eb4 is not a good choice my brother has the 1/10 scale electric version and cannot find the parts the company says they are readly available but are not.. Search the net craigslist and other rc hobby forums.. go to your local track you might find someone looking to sell there gear..I traded a RC18t brushless for a Ofna Ultra lx gt buggy with 2 novarossi motors and the stock 21 rossis are new stock needs to be rebuilt.. anyway thats my 2 cents..

would the eb4 be a good choice if the store i am getting it from stocks all of its parts. with my budget of $550 i need to get parts with that i dont need to pay for the first lot of fuel my mum said she will pay for that. i am just looking at something cheap to learn to race with and learn how to setup to suit the track i am at. while i save up to get a good buggy i just dont want to go out and get a dear buggy and stuff it up.

sorry the buggy is actualy $479 i read the price rong because it use to be $525

Personally no eb4 here. If I was you I would grab the Losi 8 or the AE rc8. just my .02 though.

Yes if you can stretch the extra $$ get the losi 8. You wont be disappointed.

Wait!!! Save some more penneys and get the Losi 2.0 RTR. Every thing is in it and it's a darn good ride. And I don't run Losi but overall you can't beet the deel.

just wait another paycheck or 2 and get the losi 8 2.0 rtr. comes with a great radio a good enough steering servo a starterbox. imo thunder tiger is a POS(Piece of SH!T) or buy used stuff. look in the for sale thread theres a D8 for 200. and i might have a Kyosho 777 wc for sale soon
