Toughest 1/10 4wd buggy?
 
I’m looking for a new 4wd 1/10 buggy for next season, I want something that’s durable so I spend more time racing and less time wrenching!!

a BJ4 WE is almost indestructable, very very strong cars, nd great to drive,

hope this helps :D

D4......... solid as a rock.

mark christopher 13-11-2007 08:16 AM

the best one is the one that dont crash!

got a d4 and its strong

trekkerkk 13-11-2007 08:23 AM

d4 has been strength tested by a mr ralls cartwheeling the entire(well nearly)straight off eden park,still went on to win,
as teddy has said solid as a rock,

trekkker

cant talk for any others, but my d4 has proved to be strong, touch wood no breakages yet.

I think the Tamiya 501X is one of the strongest cars out there - but it takes more time wrenching to keep it in top condition than something like the BJ4we or D4 etc because of their sealed drivetrains.
I raced the BJ4we for a year - apart from the front arms and a shock tower the car never needed any work

Tamiya TRF501X - can't break the thing, and believe me I have tried, including it getting locked on full throttle down the straight into a wall.

Pred X10. Plenty strong, unlike the early 1990's models.

Good they did improve. I raced A Pedator back in the 90'ies and the thing broke when looked upon. :eh?:

I can confirm that the TRF501X must be the strongest 4wd out there in terms of chassis and suspension. I never saw a suspension arm break. A few guys over here with BJ4's actually modified tamiya arms to fit on their BJ's because they are much beefier. I also agree that the closed drivetrains on the BJ or D4 require less maintenance.

My conclusion would be : if you want low maintenance : get a BJ4 or D4. If you want a car that will always get you to the finish line of a race, get the TRF501X

The car that kills diffs by dirt integration and breaks shock towers like nothing ive ever seen :D Bathy once broke 4 in a meeting :o and they wernt bad crashes!
The car that is 'the best out there' finished 8th in the nats in the hands of Neil Cragg, yeah great....;)

rcracer 13-11-2007 03:26 PM

I would echo the comments on the 501x really strong ,even though i have switched to a S4 now which i may add i am in the process of fitting 501x arms then my s4 will also be bomb proof :D

Yokomo's dont even go that well indoors away from dirt. One came into our club and lasted about 3-4 months. The guy got fed up with diffs that shredded themselves, he even snapped a few driveshafts with a 19t motor...

The strongest car i've see would be the BJ4 or the Tamiya 501x, The d4 i've seen explode into bits hitting a wall!
