A buggy to convert

[magman]

If you can get a mbx-5 they are bomb proof....I have one that's converted and love it

You really can't go wrong w/Associated, X-ray or Losi

I have heard mixed things with Associated. Most people like Losi, and Xray isn't that a racing company? Like high end? I will look for used mbx-5's.

I would check out what your LHS carries the most of and go with that. Sure, you can shop online, but it kinda sucks paying $5 shipping for a $2 part, not to mention waiting for the postman.

That said, my Ofna Hyper8 and MBX5 have both been quite solid. I've bashed my Hyper8 a lot and the only things that broke (chassis, front shock tower) were the result collisions from high speed and inanimate objects.

Traxxas... but next would be a tie with AE and Losi. Hmm... guess it depends what i can find good deals on used. You guys know what cars make easy conversions? With easy to mount batteries and pre-made RCM mounts? I really just want a tough buggy that is easy to convert. Which might be a Raze if i could find parts for it...
