I say go P5... perfect for a place like leisure hours where low end is needed. If it was mine.. I'd put the .28 into it.. hehe.. torque is good. lol! Hyper 8 ports are way to hit of miss for me. one is excelent and the next 5 are junk. of the 4 I had only one was really good, fast and reliable.
Ata.. stay away from the RTR 7.5 sport unless you want to put $1000 of hop ups into it to make it up to par with the Kanai buggies in the strength and reliability category. The RTR 7.5 sport has soft cast diffs instead of hardened steel ones, cheap soft chassis that will bend on the first bad jump, plastic is softer than the standard 7.5 and breaks easier than a standard 7.5, plastic spur gear, junk servos, no universals at all, horrible Pipe, and the engine makes all of 1.4hp on a good day.
I'd get the standard 7.5 buggy kit, then put in a hyper 8 port or other sport engine and decent electronics, a decent front and rear chassis brace and your off to the races. actualy a better choice would be an ofna Hyper 7 PCR. they are Very good sport buggies with great features for the price.
