I'm looking to get into 1/8th scale racing, so I'll have a gauranteed race in the the summer. I've been racing 1/10th electrics for the past couple years, but when warm weather rolls around the electric racing dies off.

There is a Kyosho MP777 on consignment at the LHS with engine(RB-S5) and a pipe. I know very little on 1/8th scales right now and was wondering if this would be a good buggy to start with? There is also a Jammin X-1CR roller w/ lots of extras for a little more. Which would be a better starter buggy, and why?

Also what all do I need to get one of those rollers moving? A bump box, servos, receiver, batteries, engine, pipe, fuel,...anything else?
