I'm new to rc racing and have not driven a 1/10 buggy yet. The one thing that I know, is that the best way to determine the best is to simply see what the top guys are using at the latest and biggest races. This is the same with most other competition sport based heavily on equipment.
Where this is concern, the Euros 2010 which concluded just a few weeks ago, would be the race to look at. From what I see, the Tamiya factory drivers were using the 511 and not some prototype. As far as the results are concerned, it's 1st-511, 2nd-BMax, 3rd-511, 4th-Dex and 5th-B44.
Until the next big race with all the top drivers, the TRF511 still reigns as the best. This does not mean it suits everyone including me. It just means that it deserves the biggest consideration if one is looking for a top buggy.
