hello mate,long time since I have seen you on here,Hmm Malta that will be a little warmer than NBC
Anyway, if your after a tough car in my experience you need to be looking Mugen, I have run then in the past and found they were just bomb proof. the losi I run at the moment is ok, but if the racing conditions are as harsh as you say I think the ware rate will be high and you will soon be putting loads of new bits on it, If money is no object then kyosho I ran an MP9 for a while and it strong but very costly to buy new. mugen as its a little more cost effective.
The other thing is don't be tempted by cheep servos as rallyx is hard on servos in the best conditions, I personal have had very few problems with savox 1258's
I have no experience of other cars like agama etc exept from speaking to team drivers,who say they are fantastic......of course
Is xray the car of choice out there due to supply? maybe a case of when in rome do as the romans do
