this what i need to know i dont know enough on electric cars what is it worth and why please help me to understand

[Oh How Original]

Well because for starters you can pick up an electric converted roller for about £125ish, depending on condition, then brand new electrics... You'd be able to almost build it yourself new for that kind of money and a lot less using all second hand gear.

Don't be tempted to cheap out on a crap brand just because you want to rush lol.

It's definitely worth waiting for a decent condition quality second hand buggy to turn up on the market, just wait and you'll get far more for your cash.

The last 8ight-E I sold had more upgrades than that, not that they really need it and had loads of spares, lots of wheels/tyres (about 15 complete sets in fact) with better electrics and I thinkn I got about £280 for it.

Just be patient and something will come along!

So let us forget the hyper9e thing and focus on this. what do YOU want as in fun. fast but not overly expensive, easy to upgrade and find parts but again not overly expensive,
and something brushless if possible. 

type : what do you like looks wise, we have monster trucks - buggys - trucks - trophy trucks - trick trucks - landrovers - unimogs , rally cars etc etc.
things like the traxass rustler and the slash truck are well known for being basher built, but they do come with that more expensive parts and price tag.

you like a truck but also the low lines of a buggy so something like the truggy is where you would look to. if your into your dirt racing and floaty jumps your more like to go with a shortcourse style truck, but its all down to you the driver and owner on what you like and require from the machine
