Given the circumstances that is quite understandable. Racing really isn't going to be your priority for a while and you'll need a few extra quid around now.

You have all our best wishes I'm sure.

£120 max as i things to pay out

best bet is to join a local club and race whatever you have for fun,make friends with other members and learn from them.
when you gain more experience you can move on to better faster cars and take racing more seriously.

You told me 3 days ago you didnt want my shocks that are forsale because you have just bought 2 B4's for the same price i was asking for the shocks:confused:that would mean you have 3 B4;s,so why not race 1 and you wont need to buy any spairs:thumbsup:

stampede vxlboy 19-11-2009 10:49 AM

it was for my son madrat a got a spare car b4 and used the shock off it
plus its a 4wd i need sorry i payed 20 for a full set of new b4 shocks for my madrat and b4 2 of them
i have got 1 full car of bits all carbon / plastic loads of parts 1 of them is up forsale

sparrow.2 19-11-2009 10:54 AM

Then race that instead of buying something new. You have plenty of spares and a good car.

Please explain why you are hellbent on getting a 4wd now?

dave g 19-11-2009 10:58 AM

i would personally stick to the 2wd b4.

maintenance is almost zero.
its very very strong.
its quick with even a 7.5 brushless and cheap batteries.
its easy to drive and you dont need to keep changing setups,it works just about everyhere.
parts are cheap and easy to buy should you ever break something.

and driving 2wd will learn you more about throttle control and not going flat out everywhere.

stampede vxlboy 19-11-2009 11:02 AM

coz i like them better and drive alot better its me that wanting to buy a 4wd plz dont start been fun with me as i dont need it :)

stampede vxlboy 19-11-2009 11:04 AM

rcracer 19-11-2009 11:06 AM

Take a deep breath Simon and read the posts again the guys are just giving you some good advice there is nobody making fun of you

sparrow.2 19-11-2009 11:12 AM

I wasn't. Neither were the others.

You are just getting sound advice from people who have been racing for a long time and know what it's like to start out.

stampede vxlboy 19-11-2009 11:20 AM

stampede vxlboy 19-11-2009 11:41 AM

its to far pete plus i cannot afford it too far mate its miles away

Dave Dodd 19-11-2009 12:28 PM

Out of your 2 choises, i would have to say the B44 but only cos it seems to have a better following yet to look at them they look the same.. but me personally would run a buggy that takes stick packs cos that is what i've got already.
If i had the xxx4 i would be happy they say it aint very good on very bumpy tracks but i dont race on very bumpy tracks.. so sorted..
i race 2wd have done for the last 2 outdoor seasons now i'm racing it indoors.. started with an rc10B3 a lot of people told me it had very aggressive turn in which i adjusted and then learn'nt the driving style to suit. i now only recently changed to a Losi xxx which at the moment is totally opposite to the b3.. but i'm happy with 2wd cos 4wd, different ball game for a start at our club some of the buggies have run 3t brushless (2wd 6.5t, me 12x2 brushed) but we have a various range of brands in 4wd ZX 5's, Cat's, Durga's in 2wd X 5's, B4's, XXX's oh and a Madrat...

yes i know i've waffled on and it prob dont go with the rest but hey :lol:

jhammond 19-11-2009 01:46 PM

The B44 is probably you're best bet... (As advised a fortnight ago.)


Spares are easier to obtain, it's shaft-drive (I know you said you weren't keen on belt-drive.) and they're very popular which means set-up advice is easy to come by.

The only problem is that you'll have to purchase a set of saddle-format cells.
