@@stonejss727 I'm getting into RC casually with my son. We have a Slash 4x4 and also just got Hoss (Beast mode truck). But considering a 1/8 scale buggy for some casual racing and driving. Which one do you think is best based on your experience ?
@@duffyrides if your just getting into it a c hub front end is easier to drive right off that bat… I’d go with a serpent, or a tekno… for pillow ball front ends I’d go with mugen or sworkz…. Serpent sells a rtr version for a good price as well…
@@stonejss727 Thanks. The Serpent RTR SRX8e looks very good for the price. The nitro version also looks great but I am not sure that I want to deal with the headaches of Nitro. I already have two motocross bikes to look after (our other life long hobby)
Im not sure… the kit doesn’t come with the dual pack layout…you have to buy it separately… I’m guessing it will only fit 2s packs because the battery is held in by hard plastic brackets… you’d have to get 3s hard packs no higher than 6000mh and figure out a way to use Velcro straps… good luck it’s be fast on 6s
@@nickhathaway4617 ya…I converted mine to a basher with hub extenders and proline badlands the smaller ones…and a hobby wing max 8 g2 system…it performed excellent…very durable…running 4s
I’ve driven all of them except for the sworkz… I’m no pro….but the easiest to drive fast with would be the HB and the kyosho a close second … the serpent drives like the HB but has a little more steering…as of now I’m going with the serpent…it has a little more of a learning curve but I feel like I might be even faster with practice. I’ll always keep my HB it’s my favorite buggy….I have the Sworkz truggy…I’m still building it, if it’s good I might try there buggy in the future.
@@stonejss727 I raced Kyosho buggy & Truggy since 2010, I always wanted to try Hot Bodies they always looks so planted on the track. Thanks for the input. I don't wanna cheat myself so I will try all of them!
Bro!!! We're did you get those mudguards? I just got the rtr version to get into racing see how I like it I'm more of a just send it type of driver..haha racing seems like a blast and super competitive...I didn't want to spend crazy money on my first buggy even tho I'm 700 in already😂..
@@stonejss727 but am pretty sure the pro kit is stronger than RTR for bashing .the rtr motor is too weak .I have a xrs8e rtr and I upgrade servo front shock 450 rear 300 front diff 7 7 3 .it's awesome but the motor really not strong enough to make jump like you did dude
You're modest: You say you're not a professional racer, but damn! You drive like one!
Thank you… I have my moments…lol

Durable for a basher? Want something different than Traxxas arrma etc .

What buggy drives the best for you. I'm looking at the d819, MP9 , and the SrX8 pro. Sworkz looks good too

@@stonejss727 thanks look like I'll try all 3 then
@@tateevans9143 lol, ya that would be the most fun… HB is the best in my opinion

@@tateevans9143 exactly…everyone drives different and certain kits mesh with certain driving styles… let me know how it goes
What’s the parts availability like on these?
You could find parts for the serpent in several different places I’d say it’s pretty easy to get parts for
Cool video! Subbed
I’ll have more videos soon….just waiting on the weather

They came with the body… I painted them purple…. The car is definitely durable…should be good for bashing 👍👍👍

I’m liking it so far…👍👍👍
Why is your brother so better at driving than you?
Cause he holds his controller backwards 🤣
