Need help to decide a 1/8 buggy and engine
I had a 1/10 nitro on-road car and recently interested in a 1/8 buggy. The OFNA Hyper 8 caught my interest because of its price to performance ratio (pre-assembled and comes with pipe. Who can beat that?). I plan to race it in off-road track (club racing). I'm struggling between Hyper 8, MP777 (regular kit) and MBX-5 (regular kit). Which is the better choice?
For the engine, what's a good all-purpose .21 engine for about 200?
Note: what I meant by "regular kit" for MP777 and MBX-5 is their base kit. For example, not MP777 SP2
