help choosing 1st 1/8th brushless buggy

[ch!3f]

hi guys im looking in to buying a rtr version and wanting a bit of help.

there are 2 cars in my price range a kyosho inferno ve or a caster fusion ex-1 and cant decide between them.

i know that kyosho have been round yours but they look around similar quality.

i wouldnt mind 1 some1 has converted from nitro but wanting in good condition and a good chassis too.

my budget is £380 can push another £70 for batts n charger so what do you guys recon?

thanks for having a look and hope some1 can point me in th right direction.

I'm new to electric 1/8th having just bought a Caster truggy for my son for christmas.

I'd say if you only have £70 for batteries and a charger you might need to think again.

I've ordered from Hong Kong (cheapest place on net) £89 delivered for 2 x 7.4v lipos to power the Caster. Same cells are like double that price in the UK then add a decent charger £30 - £80 I'd say roughly..

Hi am new too I would buy a second hand losi 2.0/ or Xray any model/ Hong Nor Cr, and convert any of these to leccy with the conversion kits, you will have enough money left over for a lipo, it will work out cheaper, thats my view, I bought the Losi 2.0 £170, conversion kit £55, work the rest out.cheers jon
