Hello, 1st post to say hello,
 
hello everyone, i'm james.

Hi James

Welcome to the madhouse:p

There is a laot to choose from in 4wd now, do you fancy shaft or belt drive?

What sort of budget are you on?

the reviews section of this sight would be a great thing to look at. Seems to be being worked on at the moment, but be sure to chek that out later for some great reviews on many of the current 4wds.

Besides that buget could be the biggest thing to consider.

i havent really thought of how much, more of whats the best.
i would like some thing that i could get parts for next day delivery,

shaft or belt? i am not sure, really, i am guessing that the belts turn quicker,

what the siuation with brushless system's, :wtf:

had a look at the review's, but like you said it aint working at the mo:mad:

;)

nah, shafts have more punchy acceleration, but with the power available these days it makes very little difference.
With Losi/horizon no longer backing many of it's former drivers, there should be a few XX4's up for sale for cheap.
this one seems reasonable: http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5245

associated b44, jconcepts bj4, tamiya 501x, yok mr4bx,... it all depends on your budjet. these cars are all about $500, but if you want cheap go with an academy sb or a lazer zx-5.

There is no problem with the reviews page now - no one told me it wasn't working so I didn't know until I read this thread.:eh?:
