Toughest 1/10 4wd buggy?

[ak33]

I’m looking for a new 4wd 1/10 buggy for next season, I want something that’s durable so I spend more time racing and less time wrenching!!

[AndyM]

a BJ4 WE is almost indestructable, very very strong cars, nd great to drive,

hope this helps

[Teddy truman]

D4......... solid as a rock.

[mark christopher]

the best one is the one that dont crash!

got a d4 and its strong

[trekkerkk]

d4 has been strength tested by a mr ralls cartwheeling the entire(well nearly)straight off eden park,still went on to win,
as teddy has said solid as a rock,

trekkker

[dan_kitty]

cant talk for any others, but my d4 has proved to be strong, touch wood no breakages yet.

I think the Tamiya 501X is one of the strongest cars out there - but it takes more time wrenching to keep it in top condition than something like the BJ4we or D4 etc because of their sealed drivetrains.
I raced the BJ4we for a year - apart from the front arms and a shock tower the car never needed any work

[chrispattinson]

Tamiya TRF501X - can't break the thing, and believe me I have tried, including it getting locked on full throttle down the straight into a wall.

Pred X10. Plenty strong, unlike the early 1990's models.

Good they did improve. I raced A Pedator back in the 90'ies and the thing broke when looked upon.

I can confirm that the TRF501X must be the strongest 4wd out there in terms of chassis and suspension. I never saw a suspension arm break. A few guys over here with BJ4's actually modified tamiya arms to fit on their BJ's because they are much beefier. I also agree that the closed drivetrains on the BJ or D4 require less maintenance.

My conclusion would be : if you want low maintenance : get a BJ4 or D4. If you want a car that will always get you to the finish line of a race, get the TRF501X

The car that kills diffs by dirt integration and breaks shock towers like nothing ive ever seen Bathy once broke 4 in a meeting and they wernt bad crashes!
The car that is 'the best out there' finished 8th in the nats in the hands of Neil Cragg, yeah great....

[rcracer]

I would echo the comments on the 501x really strong ,even though i have switched to a S4 now which i may add i am in the process of fitting 501x arms then my s4 will also be bomb proof

mmm

Yokomo's dont even go that well indoors away from dirt. One came into our club and lasted about 3-4 months. The guy got fed up with diffs that shredded themselves, he even snapped a few driveshafts with a 19t motor...

The strongest car i've see would be the BJ4 or the Tamiya 501x, The d4 i've seen explode into bits hitting a wall!
