Hi mate, moved this to the 'smelly stuff' section.

It depends what you are wanting to do with the car - I guess you want an 8th scale buggy? I've only raced the Hong Nor stuff myself, but even the RTR car was really good.

depends what you want to do with it, if you want to race, check out what local nitro clubs you got and what they race, if you want to play, buy a truggy, Ho Bao or Hong Nor do a good RTR kit

Hong Nor all the way!!!!

On my first time out with the car, never driven it before qualified 33rd at a UK national ... my previous car would have been lucky to qualify for loading into boot on a skip run ... LOL

Don't do it!!! go for a truggy instead much better than a buggy, HoBao Hyper ST or CEN Matrix TR Arena, go watch both buggies & truggies and then make a decision.
Or buy a buggy, watch the truggies and then think 'damn I wish I'd bought one of those instead'

buggy or truggy

well different people like different things but for me buggys are where its at. truggys seem like more of a novelty class that at clubs like Slough are almost not supported through lack of interest!
Adrians always said he'd run a heat for them if enough turn up but in reality who wants to race against 2 other people
you can go to any club and race a buggy against a reasonable turnout
