I recently got into 1/8 scale buggies and truggies.
The biggest question for you is are you planning on racing consistantly or not.
If you are not planning on racing or only racing every now and then I would not spend a lot of money on a kit car. Myself I do not race but I like to attend practice days at LH. I have no intention to race every weekend.
I bought a Ofna Ultra comp 2 used from someone on this board as my first car. I occasionall broke parts but it was due to me doing real stupid things like bashing the hell out of it at a skate park.
I then bought a Sportwerks mayhem st truggy from someone on the board that was setup for racing. Its a good car with plenty of power and is good at the track. I am thinking of buying a mayhem or turmoil buggy to match the truggy.
If you are not planning on racing constantly I would buy a sportwerks over the ofna since it can be a more capable racer if you ever plan on doing so.
Spend the amount of money you are most comfortable with and buy something that matches what you want to do with it. You don't need a Jammin, TTR or eight if you do not plan on racing.
By the way buy used from the board its the best way to get nice vehicles at a good price. If you do not like your car you can turn around and sell it for about what you paid
