choices! head really hurts now.

[jenky]

im a newbie as youll know as soon as you read this,

im in a dilemma, which car to choose

this is what i want
something i can go to the nearest meeting with and not look out of place, something competative.
something i can pop down the local park with the lads and blast about down there with them.

theres so many to choose from, do i go new and a bit cheaper or secondhand and better?

i want the enjoyment of building my own car, so a new kit appeals to me.

2wd or 4wd? i dont know which, surly 4wd can put more power down onto the ground and not just spin the tyres off, but i dont know.

the 2 cars im torn between at the moment

a new hobao hyper H2 pro kit to build.
a second hand schumacher sx3

both i can get around the same sort of money for the rolling chassis

is there a different kit around i should be looking at?

will anyone help me lol thanks in advance.

ps, this money is burning a hole in my pocket! im away offshore at the moment working and want everything at home waiting for me to get straight into the build. whether it be a new kit to assemble or just all the electrics to put into a s/h chassis.

oh yer im looking to get started so if anyone has something nice at the right sort of money please let me know, maybe buying someone out who is giving up?

to be honest mate u don't wanna be taking a race kit down the park really. Or i wouldn't anyway.

of the 2 the h2 is a stronger car and cheaper to repair

personally i find 4wd boring but do it for practice

See this is where everyone is different and a question like this is so hard to answer because I am the opposite I find 2wd boring sometimes and even though my results in both classes are usually about the same I much prefer racing 4wd.

Do agree about taking a race car to the park not great but if you are careful and you don't bash it about should be alright but again id be bored after about 30 seconds. Don't get any enjoyment out of driving a car about randomly.

The Schumacher is a good car. No one knows a great deal about the H2 pro just yet but it seems to have got a big following quick so there must be something in that. Its really up to you do you want something race ready or build it yourself. Both seem like decent choices which ever way you go

i have purchased the H2 wish me luck on the build! lol

[s22jgs]

its easy enough. Just take ure time with things and make sure u look at the instructions closely. They ai t the best but with a little extra care they are fine. Follow the tips i posted in the h2 thread and it will make some things clearer and easier for you

...new is always the best.!



Personally , 2wd was better and and less work.
