thanks for the info and help guys. losi eight does sound like a good buggy and will look in depth in the buggy.
reason why i didn't think about going used was because eventually, parts tend to wear, making the car "shakier". for i.e. i bought a used xxx-bk2 not to long ago, which i really like, but when i looked into it a little further, the car's hubs were worn and made the wheels shake more. yes, it was cheaper than buying a new one, but in the long run fixing all those parts could have gottin spendie. but i will look and see whats selling. thanks.
