Default Which car.........

For a beginner, which 2wd & 4wd buggy would people recommend, that are currently available.

I know this will be dependent on certain preferences, but which cars are the most forgiving, in the hands of a novice.

B4RS for definate in 2wd. Spares are easily available trackside. Nice and easy to drive.

As for 4wd i would go with the tamiya durga. Jimmy has written a review for it here http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/reviewtamiyadurga/

Would defo have to agree with Ben and Ashley, they are two really good cars for a beginneer. Both strong and reliable and good straight out the box!

For an absolute beginner who has nothing yet the B4 RTR deal is really good.

One of the guys in our club got one and is currently doing really well with it. It doesn't really need any hop-ups either to be competitive.

Another great thing about it is that you can find setups by the dozen online and there will usually be someone trackside who can help you out with advice or parts
