Toughest Buggy for $150-250

[mac3194]

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

mugen mbx-5's can be had cheap and they are tanks

[mac3194]

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.

i have one for bashin' and one for racing. i even jump mine in the street on skateboartd ramps. it's extremely durable.

[Semi Pro]

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.
