(have a hopped up 2wd slash coming this week which will cover me in the short course class, but would like a 2wd buggy as well).
Steve was saying that most of you guys run the b4 or the b4.1 and have been doing me research since race day. Like the look of the b4.1 factory team kit, however may have to go for the RTR version, as don't think will have too much funds left to invest in the electrics after  . however torn as am guessing that all the upgraded hopped up parts in the factory team version are ones that i'm ultimately going to need.....oh the dilemma 
Other than the b4 and b4.1's are there any cars you guys would recommend? |
There are some very good RTR models out there that with a few subtle mods, can work really well. Dependent upon your budget, you can buy an RTR model with brushless motor/speedo and 2.4GHz radio.
The B4.1 is an evolution of the successful B4 and so you may be able to pick up the older model at a good price. The majority of the parts are interchangeable and with a good club allegiance to the Associated brand, spares trackside are not an issue.
Other cars to consider of course are the Schumacher Cougar SV, Losi XXX-CR, Tamiya TRF201, Kyosho RB5, X Factory X-6...
My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the For Sale section here and maybe pick up a used example with some spares that should leave you some money to buy the radio equipment, etc.
