ok so we are looking at either

Kyosho RB5 SP or SP2 ??
Associated B4.1
Tamiya TRF201

out of these which are designed more with lipo in mind and wont need bits added to make the car work, or will any of them work fine as they arrive lipo or not.

out of interest heres the jargon on the X-Factory

Quote:
The X – 6² is the most proven mid-motor buggy in the world. In 2009 the X - 6² won 9 different National Championships, and 2010 is continuing that tradition. Ellis Stafford won the U.K. National Championship in 2009 for the second year in a row and TQ’ed the European Championship. Think it's only in Europe? Mike Ciresi won the 2009 Michigan Off-Road Series with his X – 6² on some of the most blown-out outdoor ‘gas tracks', and Yuichi Ajishi finished 5th at the 2009 All-Japan Championship Race. X Factory’s buggies are winning races all over the world.

The concept of moving the motor inboard just makes sense. Tires can only offer so much traction, and with the motor hanging off the back of the chassis, there is a inherit pendulum effect in corners, causing the driver to dance on the edge of control waiting for the rear end to step out. With more concentrated mass, the X – 6 Squared eliminates the pendulum effect, allowing the car to carry more corner speed and drive much more predictably. The mid-motor design also handles bumps better and is more stable in the air. Simply put, it’s easier to drive fast. The X - 6² makes 2wd buggy racing fun again!
