new buggy
 

im in the market for a new buggy of santa :cool: and i fancy a shaft drive because im lazy and was fed up of rebuilding my mr4 bx diffs, so my options are a BJ4 we or a B44 are there others?? what are the pros and cons of them, and what wears out etc.

thanks in advance steve :)

There's also the HB D4.

Spares are readily available through Mirage.

What breaks/wears out... With a good build the drive train in any car should be bullet proof. Then you will only break when you crash....

One benefit of the B44 is that it's cheap :D

i can confirm what adam says, good strong car

I'd also recomend the D4, have just bought one myself, only had one outing with it to date and it went well, it was nice to build seems easy to maintain (drop the diffs out etc) and on the track it felt nice to drive and very well balanced.

I would say the D4 aswell good strong car setups are easily available and it looks the mutts.

If you go by results..you cant beat winning the Worlds.
B44 all the way!
Loads of help soon to be avaliable from Craig, Lee, Neil and co aswell through the CML/AE sites :)

after reading jimmy's review and looking in to it ive decided on either a
bj4 we or b44, so what are the differences between the two,
i can't seem to find a price for the bj4 but the cheapest b44 was £215
:D and that looks cheap to me so is the bj4 we worth the extra coin

The B44 is the eveloution of the BJ4, same designers, but B44 is exclusive to Associated. Both very good cars. :D

Don't forget the revised Kyosho Lazer zx5-SP is out now .... it's very good value at the price it's going to be on the street.

Also don't forget that the D4 is as close as you can get to the bj4 and the b44. Theres lots of people run them so help is always at hand. And i can also vouch for the strength of the car.
