Default Please help by suggesting a platform for 1/8 BL project.

Well as the title states I am starting a new project, 1/8 Buggy BL lipo or a123 batteries. I was going to buy the Monster max for the esc, and already have a spektrum radio/rec for it.

My question is what platform to use. I want something very strong and durable. I have seen some pretty impressive conversions on the Hyper 7 and I can get one pretty cheap on ebay for a roller. To be honest I know NOTHING about 1/8 scale and I am worried about part support on such a old buggy or are they interchangeable with the hyper 8. Or should I just buy the hyper 8 pro. I have only been looking at these because people have posted that they are "like tanks." I know you guys know your stuff on the 1/8 scale so I am open to suggestions on all buggies. I currently run 1/10 with BL lipo and break stuff all the time. I am looking for something that has a drive train that will hold up and parts that are known for being sturdy.

Thanks for the help guys. Oh yea strictly for play...there are no tracks around me anymore.
