Default nitro help please

hey everyone,
im thinking of getting my first nitro car and id appreciate any help anyone can give me.
ive had a look whats out there and 3 cars interest me: the mp7.5 sports RTR for $700, the nitro evader for $600 and the ultima buggy for $350.
i want an off-roader(obviously), not interested in racing atm, want a car that is durable and that has decent part prices.
which of these cars do you guys think would be more appropriate for what im looking for.
any help would be much appreciated
cheers

Go with the MP 7.5, the 1:8 buggy can withstand more bashing and trashing then the 1:10 plus it will be easier to drive than the other two (4wd v 2wd).
Good Luck

4 Sure go the MP7.5 all parts are well priced and are easy to get when you bend / break something from most hobby/RC Shops as well as a whole range of hop ups for later on

Good Luck

Hi there,

I'm a beginner with a 1/8 buggy and Force 21 motor.
I play on-road and it's not at all too fast for me - as long as I don't do anything stupid. Off-road is more challenging and I haven't had as much time there as I'd like, but trying to land a jump requires an extra bit of skill.

Just control your accelerator finger until you get used to it and you'll do fine

Cheers, Oggy.
