2wd buggy is (IMO) the way to get back into (cheaper, teaches you good driving habbits etc).
Pop down to RHR on a Wed eve (clubnight) and have a look at what people run (we're a friendly bunch and will happily show you what we run, works etc)
The RTR is a good deal but only if you stick to stock electrics (which with an unboosted 13.5t most will ditch fairly quickly).
My advise whichever car you get, get a kit or a second hand racecar complete with electrics (a season old racecar can be had at very attractive prices).
The BRCA list stuff is handy, but only if you're planning to do nationals/regionals (and as already said mainly nationals). For club level/oople series it's not that important.
Hope this helps

on my doorstep i have robin hood raceway and deerdale tracks, so i am looking at racing 2wd buggy.
after a bit of research i have come accross the Dex210, now i need some advice and guidance. and i understand the dex210 v2 is coming out early next year.
BUT, am i best getting the RTR or the kit version, i have been advised to get BRCA spec stuff incase i race in competitions, which i plan on to in the near future and a lot of practice  .
for last couple of years i have been using turnigy, nanotech, xerun, hobbywing. can anyone tell me if this stuff is allowed in BRCA and do people actually run this stuff?
i used to be a Novak man years ago, but with buggys i have now idea, i do like my savox servos though.
i am assuming there is only one version of the DEX210, but then its either kit form or RTR form. i dont want to be no speed freak, so the rtr kits seems the way.
any advice or guidance is much appreciated. |
