New buggy!!! - squirrel - 01-29-2006
My buddy is looking at getting into 1/8th scale, he is trying to decide between a
Ofna 9.5
kyosho
mugen
Which one should he get? I told him the kyosho or mugen! He is looking at a little bit of racing with some bashing thrown in.

Squirrel, tell him to buy kyosho. You saw the beating I gave mine yesterday and all I broke was a $5 part..

I hate to break it to you but pretty much all 1/8th scales take that beatin. My storm did and only ever sheared off screw in the wing mount, and Tommy's ofna did yesterday. That is they way they are designed. Actually Tommy's landed even harder than yours did from what I hear and didn't break a thing.
In the end if you want a basher go with ofna. If you want a racer go with the jammin, kyosho or mugen...

Revo my buggy is alot stronger than yours! Not opinion but fact. My buggy was built for bashin, not racing! He is going to go with the mayhem(thanks kit for helping him out)
New buggy!!! - FreeRideFrosty - 01-29-2006
I think the mayhem is an awesome all around choice. For the money I don't think you can find a better buggy...

He will be on the boards later. I told him he had to join, also my bro will be getting on the boards. He got a nitro rustler today.
Let the I.Q. of the boards go down a few points!!!!!!! Charlie if you read this. . . !

New buggy!!! - FrankieS - 02-01-2006

New buggy!!! - AWFUL KANAWFUL - 02-01-2006
THANKS FrankieS, i'm gonna beat on it. as for tommy.... BITE ME!!!
J/K ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL A SQUIRREL LOSES ONE OF HIS NUTS
New buggy!!! - FreeRideFrosty - 02-01-2006
Ouch... LoL
Before you beat the crap out of the mayhem try it on the track. No use trashing the thing if you decide you will want to be a racer... I've learned. LoL
New buggy!!! - squirrel - 02-02-2006
Oh charlie want to play!!! Respect your elders! btw happy b-day! don't listen to dan, beat the h3ll out of it and then start racing!
New buggy!!! - AWFUL KANAWFUL - 02-03-2006
I THINK ILL DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! i had a record for most time spent in a penalty box in street hockey so maybe i can get the same kind of thing with a r/c race car at a track!
