I've cartwheeled my 8ight at over 90 and all i did was crack a rim. to me, the 8ight is the most impressive i've seen.
i also like the availability of parts. everyone carries losi, and horizon hobbies is their distributer.
there was also that buggy that jumped the house on youtube...i think that was an inferno. can anyone confirm?
Iirc it was a kyosho. The guy worked at kyosho. I also remember hearig that beast never ran again. The chassis twisted? I think other things broke too.
My 8ight was run over by a car... a real car, and I could still run it without fixing it. I probably don't need to say anything else, other than that was the last time I ran an FM radio system in it.
Check out my custom converted 8ight:
Sub 7lb, lowest CG of any 1/8 buggy
I've got 2 Hyper 7s and have never managed to break anything and they've been around for years (and still in production) so parts are very easy to find. They're a bit on the heavy side but mine have been great so far, the only thing I've broken is a CV cup because something got jammed in it, I've since put universal shafts on them both and no issues.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
bottom line nothing is indestructable, but everybody stocking losi and associated cars and part either one would be a good choice, i would even suggest kyosho but the availability of parts is never a local hobby shop usually
