I've got funny feeling the little mite will win, you'll be lucky if you get out of second gear on a oval track that small......Or you could just run it over and victory is in the bag

Pretty sure my 1/8 rallycross buggy would beat my scoob with the right tyres and gearing.
Kyosho 777 SP1 - O.S. VZB .21 engine
On-road 1/8 is even faster (The F1 of the RC world)

I've got the Hobao Hyper 7 UK which I haven't run much this year
Your right about a well setup on-road 1/8th though the turn-in capabilities are awsome..!

Yeah, very little doubt that it would, especially as that's the all singing and dancing top of the range Kyosho Buggy, IIRC. Incidentally, these things are massively cheaper in Hong Kong. I think I was quoted around £300 for a 777 kit when I was there last time, IIRC, they are over £500-600 here, without an engine

I paid £180 2nd hand from a lad in Sinagpore 
Buying parts from the the US ebayers means everything is nearly 1/2 price including shipping and I've more or less bought a complete 2nd car over the months for naff-all.
The engine was £70 from an Ebayer in Florida.
Been one of the most reliable buggies in the club (When I get off my butt to go). Only time it struggled was when I'd had a crap day and ended up bumping through 3 finals with about 5 mins break inbetween on a very hot June Sunday!
Not sure who was the most knackered after that me or the car
