whats your favourite 1/10th buggy
 

I started racing again after giving up in 1990 started with a top class fs lazer set up and had shed loads of cars in a year but up to now my favourite is the b4 I have at the moment... I have enjoyed driving this car more then any other I have owned I honestly can not tell you why but I think its just an amazing car out of the box and I only paid 60 quid off here for it:thumbsup:

I stared with a cougar sv then a losi 22 then durango 210 and have just got a sv2 not but not run it yet but my favourite was the cougar sv subject to change when i try the sv2 :thumbsup:

I had cougar sv 2011 I found it great on the flat but awful in the air:(

b4
 

for me it has to be the b4,even though its a rear motor and a pretty old design from what you see today,it's an amazing car.
not very strong but a well balanced,agile buggy.

Theres only one, xx4 i had 3 of them over 8 yrs.

Kyosho optima mid it was revolutionary, but I'm older than most so don't think many will remember it:blush::blush::blush:

Have to say trf511, I got one of the 1st ones and still love it now:) the trf501x was good too but not quite as agile....

I still think the Top Force Evo is one of the best looking car's i've ever had. I still have it and raced it a few times last year. But i have a soft spot for the Avante as it was draw dropping when realised.

jK

I had one long and short wheel base sweet

I good call but the cat xls was much much faster:thumbsup:

The Cat 2000 served me well back around 1992/93. Made a couple of Radio Race Car national A-finals with that, so it must have been my best.

well only ever done proper racing with my b4.1 but most memorable when younger was my tamiya frog, spent hours and hours sat in the local car park with it :thumbsup:

hmm just recalling the old days with my fathers original Tamiya wild willy probaly the car that start the love with RC cars:wub

years ago.
 

well, when i left the game 22 years ago, i was a Cat XLS man, LOVED it, had the Optima mids, yokomo's, kyoshos etc. but the cat just did it all and worked for me. and 22 years later, it does it again!

but i have to say schumacher just do it for me in every way......... except for the lack of a SC........

LOVE my SC, Hong Nor, its awsome. but may be upgrading to something a bit better some time soon..

:thumbsup:

My rc10 worlds edition,no flimsy plastic on that bad boy...built to survive and win...still got mine and raced it s few times against b4's and losi xxx's and it beat them....
Just so simple and easy to drive,nylon components and alloy chassis carbon shock mounts just a shame team associated won't rerelease it...

Just reminded me yeah....that was a good car and the cat 3000:)

I had a Kyosho Optima Mid Custom Special many moons ago, was a pretty good car too.

Not sure I can pick just one, it's a toss up between the Losi XX4, my Yokomo BX, and the Durango DEX410 I have now, all have been awesome:thumbsup:

Optima mid lwb, cat xls & lazer zx5-fs2 would be my top 3

I agree with Pugs, TRF511. Well balanced buggy, strong, reliable, smooth, fast and responsive to both setup changes and driver inputs. It doesn't look to bad either :thumbsup:

RC10 Team. I'm still surprised by how capable it remains even today. Not bad for a car built 20 years ago, and was a mid-life update of a car from 1985!

My losi xx kinwald edtion best car i had.

TRF511 - Love it!!

Losi XX for me too (although I couldn't afford the KW version), suprised this car has not been mentioned before, was so easy to drive & set-up compared to 2wds that had gone before it, I was quite dissapointed when I replaced my XX for a XXX around 1999 - the new car seemed to keep the Double X's stability but had lost some sharpness from the steering - i'm sure a XX in the right hands could still do well against the modern stuff... even at a high level!

Hot Bodies D4 suited me really well, just a shame they are obsolete now. i've had a few of them and they worked well with my aggressive driving style.

I have never owned either but the ultimate buggys have to be an Optima Mid turbo or Avante :drool: they were both so ahead of their time :thumbsup:

I got to agree with you on that one,probably had my best results with mine

Also the RC10 Team was a brilliant car too

I will let you know about the DEX210 as i havent tried it yet

Still got my RC10 Team Car in the shed. Only raced it a few times in 93/4 before I went off rallying. Would still be decent if i got it up and running.

love my DEX210!:thumbsup:

tomy intruder was an awesome car back in the early nineties had some great results with it, was easy to set up, and was quite rare even at the time, loved beating some of the established manufacturers with a tomy,

PB Mini Mustang back in the day :thumbsup: with the two speed set up it was way fast but no brakes but still better the the XLS Cat any day

Now it has to be my B44

i have to go for two all time favourites, the pb maxima and the original kyosho optima with a belt drive conversion

A guy called Mike littlewood ran one at our local club back in the day and it was good, had all the alloy wishbones on it and hubs etc....the alloy bits weren't made by tomy from what i can remember:)

TRF511X

Best car i have ever or probably will ever own.

Just a beast.

where did you get that from mate?:confused: tamiya only make a trf511:lol::lol::lol: just kidding mate you don't have to edit the post:bored: we all know what you meant....

Got one in the cellar, with some alloy bits too, but darent run it now in case it breaks a belt!

Xx4 is my favourite, watching one in the right hands, they are brilliant and set the trend for 4wd geometry

yeah i wouldn't risk running it just in case :lol: I could never get away with my xx4, but would agree in the right hands it was awesome, I remember seeing local lad D.Snee with his and was great to watch in A finals:)

PB Mustang - nearly forgot that one.

Slightly off topic, but do you remember the PB Sizzler 1/10th circuit car? It had de-dion 5 linked rear suspension. I had one in the very early days of 1/10th circuit a few years before touring cars became popular. Of course the early touring cars were just lowered and foam-tyred 1/10th off roads cars. We even did a race at Brands Hatch on the real BTCC weekend. This was in the days of the Listerine BMWs of Will Hoy and Tim Harvey. Happy memories.

oh yeah
 

i remember them, had one great but still not as good as the cat xls........ but different drivers say different things.:thumbsup:

I can't forget that one, got a niceish one sitting 2 feet away from me:thumbsup:

I cant see any mention the tenth tech predators yet....!

My first Predator back in around 1995 was aspot on, straight out of the box I got FTD for the round in the first ever run with the car at a regional somewhere down London direction!

Dad didn't enjoy re-building the diffs every meet, or the way parts would randomly fall apart if you look at them wrong - but when they are setup right they were awesome.
