Toughest Buggy for $150-250
 
so what are my options i currently have a savage flux and i bought my lilttle bro a used duratrax raze and i notice how durable it is and how well it handles so i think im in the market for a new basher buggy that i can buy as an E-roller. im mainly looking for durability and speed!!!! im gonna be running a 1515 2200kv motor

any input would be appreciated
thanks

ok thats one so far lol

you can get a used losi 8ight race roller for $150-250. those are the most durable buggies i've ever come across. i've had mine for almost 2 years and i still have yet to break anything.

the rc8's are also very durable as well.

both buggies have held jump records for the longest jumps.

i had a kyosho mp777 and i thought it to be a little more stout than my rc8

do u bash yours or just race??? because im gonna be bashin' and crashin' lol

I'll agree with magman mugens are tough buggies.

My E-Raze is a tank.

The Losi 810 will be a tank as my ten t can take it all and keep coming back.

Heck most buggies I can recall take beatings well, though Mugens take a lot, I never broke anything on my mbx5 in over a year of bashing. Wish I could get a hold of another one for cheap to make into an on road machine.

the 8ight and the hotbodies lighting are both great bashers with cheep parts, you should see some of the crashes i have had with my carbon 8ight and still nothing has broken

I'd buy a lightly used hyper 8Pro or 8,5Pro, and rc monster motormount and batt-tray. I hear good things about the durability, and mine is amazing. Love those spider diffs!

can i have some more info on ur e-raze since i already have one i might convert it but can the drive train hold up to 4 or 5s with a mamba monster 2200

Xray 808E (older 2008/09 version). Toughest buggy i have ever seen. Actually selling a roller with a ton of spares PM me.

RCMonster motor mount for the Raze, and battery tray with esc mount. Done! I opted for the custom battery tray and mounted the esc directly to the chassis.

I run the Hobbywing exrun 150a and the castle 2200 on 4s. I went through the stock diff gears. Since replacing with the spiral cut hardened ones I have never had diff problems.

I've got a Hyper 7 PCR I'd let go for cheap, they're tough and easy to get parts for. Not the best if you're going to be racing but an excellent basher.
