Oh man, that is tough. Just depends on the driver but I would say RC8.2E, Mugen MBX6 Eco, and The Losi 8ight-e. Any of those will be good and you will have parts and local support for them. I would buy:
1. Jconcepts Subcultures
2. Jconcepts Hybrids
3. Beta Cubez
The Beta Cubez are very similar to the Hybrids alomost the same, and I ran them for a heat and were very good yesterday!!!!! Corey Johnson, Agama team driver, has a ton of them for sale and they are considerably cheaper than Jconcepts. Just find him at our track when he is there. Just my opinion but those 3 tires are all you need for out track and any other in my opinion. They work really well on my buggy's.
I ran Subcultures in the 2nd heat only, and in the main yesterday!!!!

Had a absolute Blast yesterday. The most fun I have had racing in some time.
2WD buggy is a awesome class. Everyone is so good, that one mistake can cost you a spot easily!.
Had fun racing and BSing with you Rick, can't wait to run against you again!
EDIT: It was also nice seeing all the manufacturers represented..
Losi taking first, Academy taking second and Associated taking third.
That is pretty awesome...

stupid question?
like a dumb a$$ i was in a rush and plugged the bullet connectors of one of my lipos in the opposite + in the - and - in the +. when i plugged it into the esc it sparked and when i realized what i did i switched the leads and got nothing out of the battery. i put it on my charger and got a bad battery reading. is this lipo gone? or is it fixable?

Do you have deans plugs? They can only be plugged in one way so as long as they are soldered correctly they will prevent that from happening.

Personally, I would not trust the battery even if you got it to read. With good batteries so cheap now a days, I would be more worried about the ESC. The only ESC that did not blow when I did that was the Mamba Max Pro. Figure I would learn, but I have blown 1 (maybe 2) ESCs doing that exact thing. So easy to do with the bullets in the battery pack!
