Ever wonder just HOW MANY 8th scales there are?
What I mean is, how many 8th scale, 4WD off road buggys are in current production? There has to be a TON of them for sure.
I tried doing a little searching on the net, and couldn't find a list anywhere, so I thought we could all get together and make one just for a laugh.
No need to cover past models froma manufacturer that has a current version. Example: Kyosho 777SP1 and SP2 have been replaced with the 777WC - no need to list the SP1 or SP2 (or the older Kanai versions for that matter).

So let me start the list, and I'll update it as we gather more. If you know of any that exist (even the cheap asian knockoffs from flea-bay) then post them up.

Associated RC8
Bergonzoni R1
Caster Racing ZX1R Pro
CEN Matrix Factory Race Edition

someone wanna help me out?

Losi 8ight Buggy or Kyosho Inferno

which is the better buy??

tekno · 03-09-2008, 05:06 PM

personally i would go with the kyosho. There built well and perform amazingly. The 8ight is good as well but, i personally had bad luck with every losi vehicle i owned. Another buggy that's worth looking at is the Team Associated RC8. Also what you hobby shop carries most of when it comes to parts go with the buggy. Trust me you will regret getting a buggy that's hard getting parts for. Tekno.

List:

Ishma Racing
Bergonzoni R1
Hobbytech str8
Hong Nor

AMEN to that! so go check out your nearest hobby shop(s) and ask what they carry and base your decision on that. if they carry both and you want to race, then its up to you which one.
If you ask me I'd pick Kyosho, just because thats what I run and what I trust.

Losi is the better "buy" and parts are very cheap in price, oh and it`s a quicker car hands down !

This world doesn`t need more 8th scale manufacturers.... my God !
How about ONE good rc snowmobile ? Makes me crazy !

Jordan . from the vids I have seen ,you are the sled maker for the world , if you could source the elfs from the shoe maker and start pumping those bad boys , the line up will stretch all the way down the 403 dack to the QEW
