Default Good, cheap, strong 4wd?
Im thinking about getting a 4wd mainly for times like worksop and regionals, etc


But it can't be any old flimsy thing (no schuey's then ), people who know me, know that I give my cars death

So I need something cheap to buy and run, which is going to be strong and still competitive enough.


Was thinking about the new LRP Blast as it has geared diffs, but don't know what the spares will be like or track side-support

Weren't Lloyd flogging a Durga for £60ish? Built like brick s**thouses once you've put a proper rear diff in.

Actually, scrap the durango diff idea! Its almost £100 for 2 diffs and 2 idlers!

Does any other 1/10th scale car use geared diffs? (on or off road)

Most nitro touring cars are geared diffs (i think),
Anyway what do you want a touring car for.....are you on the change...

Just stick an elastic band round your rear driveshafts to your front wheels on your b4. Proper Shambles

And if you let Chris put your rubber band on you can have the front wheels going in the wrong direction to the rear aswell.....

Oh I can't wait to see this. Get a B44, I have had mine since they came out and I don't think I have had to rebuild the diffs since it was built. God bless sealed drive trains. B44 is a good solid car with a few mods I mean look at the mess Rob James made to yours when you had a head on with it, Robs only broke a ball cup.
