Are the three most run at my club. The Hypers tend to be the quicker cars, but i've noticed need replacement parts more often. The trophy is what i run, and i love it.
The Thunder tiger is as quick as the hyper, if rightly tuned, but seems to be the hardest to start, seems to be the most temperamental.

Most 1/8th buggies are around £200. However i got my trophy 2nd hand for £70. Needed a new steering servo (about a tenner) a new glow plug, and a few screws tightened.
If your just starting out, get a new one. Preferably buy from a shop, as i know antics and model zone etc. will only touch models bought from them.
