I want to upgrade from my Kyosho GP Alpha 10 to a full time off road buggy, apexmodels have recommended the following -

Ho Bao Hyper 7 1/8th Buggy £379.95 including P/S engine
GS Storm 1/8th Buggy £399.95 including P/S engine

Any thoughts on the above or alternatives for around £400?

Cheers,
Si.

You want one of these. I have one and they are absolutely awsome.

HPI® 1/8 Scale Savage 21 Nitro 4WD RTR

I have had a look at these but not sure I want a truck.

Si.

I like these, these, cos you can do this, with em' :D

MJ,

What are they like for off roading, I notice they are considerably cheaper than the two recommended by apexmodels.

Si.

dunno mate, not got an offroader, thinking of it though.
I have the on road version-and it drives mint, and is dead easy to put right if things go drastically wrong.

the protech 1/6 and 1/8 scale cars are from what I can see exactly the same as these, and I think Ofna are a big outfit http://www.ofna.com/ugtlx.html, there also seems to be alot of option parts available.

or the Phaser Mfr's site is www.protech.be


where you based mate - we ponce about at the reebok stadium most sundays, if you want a looksee.

I am in the Stockport area. Will have a look at the links tonight.

Si.

Always had great experiences with Kyosho's Inferno.

mj,

Ofna do a Hyper 7 which looks the same as the Ho Bao Hyper 7 1/8th recommended by apexmodels. I am getting the impression that there is one main manufacturer who companies are buying kits from and then re-badging them.

ScoobyWon't,

I have a Kyosho GP, forgot they did the Inferno must take a look.

Si.
