ive got a heavily modified rambo
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=22736

and a fg leopard race
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/_site_ma...ts/FG6006.html

the nitros are a good laugh but they quickly run out of fuel and most are cheaply made
the petrol buggys are soo much better
1 tank of fuel can last 1 hour
they can take alot more punishment too

do a search on youtube for the vids,theres loads on there
the nitros pull slightly better but the petrol cars you can use in rougher places

if money was no object there is
mcd racerunner
hormann ht2 etc..

Would there be anything better than a hyper 7 for around the £200 mark then, its only going to be used for fun an not raced as such...
