I recommend the D8 1st, But if you are going for an rtr dont get the Hyper 7 get Ofna's new Picco buggy it has great shocks an Italian motor and has a few other good points too. Plus it is new and only like $50 more than that 5 year old Hyper. You willon either of those models eventully want to upgrade the servos and radio sooner or later and you will be golden. Buying a kit your looking at at least double the cost of the kit to get running.
