One of the best drivers I race with ( not in the same class of course) has been having a tough time finding a buggy that fits his style. He used to drive Losi, then switched to XRAY, and for the past month he has been testing other buggies. I know he has tried the MP9, and the D8. My point is you need to find what fits your style, yes we do race at different tracks, blah, blah, blah.
All I'm saying is it needs to feel right, and he hasn't found one that does yet. He is testing all of the top buggies out there. They are all great, they can all win, but he hasn't liked any of the 4 he has tried yet, because they weren't right for him. I just don't want people to make a $600-$800 mistake just because someone on this forum says, buy this buggy, it's the best! There's no such thing as the best, the best is the one you love, the one that fits your style, and the one YOU can win with.
