WHICH ONE TO RACE?
 

Hi i want to get into 2wd 1/10th racing but torn between the b4 or dex 210 any suggestions on which one and why would be a great help thanks.

I'm no expert but I'd say depending on the track. The Dex 210 can be cheaply built in mod motor config, right?

Id that's the case I'd go for that on a grippy track, or the B4 on a track with less grip.

But I am happy to be corrected here :) As I am as far away from an experienced racer as you could get.

So why 210 or b4????
There is sv2 or svr to consider also

I am a newbie to the RC scene and have a b4 and i can say i have no problem with it, but as most tracks in UK are for mid motor the 210 can i think be much more easily converted. the conversion kits for the b4 will cost a lot more.

The Losi 22 can also be converted rear to mid motor layout !!

Tc02 cheap and very capable

(Second hand) Xfactory X6? :)

I've been told it's very easy to get a reasonable pace from the car (easy to set up and drive) - I've also driven them a few times, I was very impressed with their performance.

New conversions are quite pricy but I heard used ones are currently pretty cheap (perhaps due to C4.1, Vega etc. conversions?). It's B4 based: The front end is entirely B4, the rear end is mostly Xfactory. I heard the Xfactory spares are pricy, but as a rookie racer myself I can say I broke most parts on the front end (bad landings and such), so I think it won't be the biggest problem.

My advice overall though: Go to the club you're looking to become a member (or several ones), look what they're driving, and ask who the most experienced driver(s) are. They are guys that can often help you best finding a good setup and increasing your performance - driving the same car as them will help, or perhaps their experience will go further than their own car(s) :)
