Thank you for all the replies, now I've looked at other buggies and gone off the Schumacher a little

.
The Yokomo and Losi both very appealing but at different ends of the price spectrum too.
Can anyone say from experience if the Losi needs any money spending on hop-ups out of the box? Ran Losi all my previous off road years, Losi XX XXT XXX etc, good quality cars. I also like the fact both motor configurations come with the kit.
Yokomo - the photos on the CML site are excellent and it looks like a very high quality piece of kit, hence the price I guess.
