yep fair comment pal, valid point and will go with that, maybe I'm just getting a tad excited and rush a bit with being a newbie n all that.
Will stick with my yokomo and get mu spares and a few different parts for it and stick with that and my sct for now and wait a bit for another buggy

The type of car that you've got (conventional mid motor) is the most versatile type of 2wd about.

The car you've got, is a solid car and decent to drive when setup properly.
Concentrate at learning how to drive it, without mistakes and that should help bring your speed up. Swapping between different cars esp on the same day is difficult because it takes time to adjust to different driving characteristics, and it's something even experienced racers can struggle with. You'll gain a lot more by track time and learning to drive consistently.
My advice would be to stick with what you've got for at least 6 months/1 yearuntil you build up you driving a bit, that will be far more valuable than a car that is marginally quicker.
You've already got an SC, so have you really got time to drive another car? (Referring to the 4wd option). At most club nights it's impossible to run 2 classes let alone 3 and even on larger meeting 2 classes can get hectic, which if you are a novice doesn't help with improving your driving.
Consistency and track time is the key.
