venturing into buggy land....

That Hyper was tempting me, but I am picking up a Mugen MBX5R tomorrow for the same (100) from another local guy. And he called tonight and said He just got done putting it back together after cleaning it up!

You will love the mbx-5R...I have a mbx-5 and it is almost bomb proof. Very durable and fun to drive..

Best of luck!

I actually haven't gotten anything yet. The last one I looked at was, as we say, rode hard and put away wet. Would have needed just about every part replaced (for example, the shocks had about .080 slop - you could see daylight when you moved them).
He also had an Eight, but was asking way too much for it.

I think I will keep holding out for an Eight. I'd like to have something that I can get parts locally, rather than having to wait for a week for them. There are several for sale to the south of me, but I havent had time to get down there to look at them.
