[Kingleo619]

Looking for a another buggy, buggy is what I like a lot but not sure which one. Looking for all opinions in deciding on which one I should purchase nothing bad about arrma which I own typhon 6s but want a street only car haha maybe but I just want 2 vehicles from a different world. Will decide on thumbs up thanks stay safe

I love my arrma's but really want to build a Tekno ET48.3

Tekno

Which Tekno would you pick

 

[Jerry-rigged]

Tekno. The EB48.whatever would be great, second choice would be a SCT410. The SCT has a light weight driveline, and 12mm hexes, so if you want to go 6s speed demon, go for the EB instead.

I have a SCT410, great truck. I set it up as a 2s 2.8MT with a bug body, not a road car. Still, loads of fun. Very Tough. Handles Great.

Which Tekno would you pick

Eb 48.4

From the ones you've listed personally I'd go for the Team Losi 8ight XE race buggy.

 

[gotnitro]

My opinion only.

If your going to build a buggy, MUGEN or Kyosho, made in Japan. Tekno made in Mexico. Losi, most likely China. Nothing wrong with Mexico or China, I prefer the exact tolerances out of Japan for a race kit.

Tekno or Hobao Hyper VSe.
This is the 1/8 buggy hierarchy chart that some dude made on Redit.

They are nice but $$$$.

Hobao does not get anywhere nearly enough credit. If anyone remembers ofna. One of the best around for decades. That is hobao. They changed names due to a lawsuit and have never got the reputation back... same amazing cars. People would rather pay for a name then quality unfortunately.

My first RC was an OFNA HODR

I have a Hobao SCT. Great truck, probably weighs half what my Arrma Typhon does, and quite a bit less than my Tekno SCT410. But, it is solid, and handles great.

My buddy had a Xray. They advertise as a "luxury Buggy" and they are right. Very very nice, but a bit more $$$ than most other buggies.

Cost to fix lol

My first RC was an OFNA HODR

Mine was the ofna jammin .28 force engine with 2speed transmission full 7075 race parts. That thing would wheelie down the straightaway at the local clay track. I wish nitro would get up to par. Never gonna happen

 

[Jerry-rigged]

so the chart is cost to fix and cost to buy? Oh, I though it was some kind of quality/durability chart.

But damn remote sold separate sob

Everything is sold separate. You get the kit and a clear body. You gotta provide wheels, tires, all electrics (servo, motor, ESC, TX/RX).

Long story Ofna went out of business, Hobao decided that instead of having another company rebrand and distribute their vehicles they would handle distribution for themselves. Not all Ofnas were Hobao some were rebranded Hong Nor vehicles like the Ofna Jammin SRT 10.

The main downsides to the Hyper VSe is that it only comes with a rebranded Hobbywing 8BL100 4s ecs and the radio looks like something out of the 90s and runs on 8AA batteries, so it would be better to get the 80% ARR and add your own electronics.

The guy was from the UK.
Up and down is the cost of parts, left to right is the cost of the kit.

You also need motor, esc, steering servo and tires iirc.
