Question What Cars do we race?

Hi all. Newby sort of here.

I was wondering, what you guys race? what model and are you 2wd or 4wd fans?

Jus trying to decide on my weapon of choice, having raced the Cat years ago. Not sure what to go for this time round?

We need more 4wd members. There are lots of good 4wd cars to choose from or you can stick with what you know and get a cat sx2 or sx3 depending on budget.

Go for a b4.1 cheap spares and they don't seem to break that easy or go for the new Durango dex210 etc too many options

Default interesting.

I have no worries about the driving, will take me a little time, but used to be a reasonably decent A final man club level, but that was 20 plus years ago. I just need to get a car or 2, that does the job, and can keep up. as well as the lipo(all new to me) and the new brushless stuff.
Thinking about a 2wd to start, then 4wd to continue.
will have a look at the various ones you guys race soon and make a decision then...
