Best value new RTR 2wd kit out there at the moment?

[lovechild]

What do people think it is?

[Dudders]

Depends if 'value' is solely price based or total value, inc strength and breakages.

If I pay £100 for a car that breaks after 5 minutes, or the electrics blow up I wouldn’t consider that to be value for money. If on the other hand I had to pay £200 for a car that would be robust, easy to set up, and the electrics wont melt after 5 minutes, then I would consider the extra money worth it. Just want to get some feed back as I want to recommend a car to a beginner.

Myself and my two boys aged 6 and 11 started off with Associated B4.1's. Very quick as standard, very strong and a good all round package.

Brushless is just over £200 in some places, brushed under £200.

Get a 2.4 ghz version.

I would of thought the RTR B4.1 brushless? Or maybe the Losi 22 RTR?

[lovechild]

yeah those were the ones i was thinking

[AfroP]

losi 22 rtr is a great kit

[SLEENAD]

+1 for the B4.1 RTR: nice to start with, easy to find spares and setup info, easy to upgrade with factory team upgrades, ...

What is it for, racing or just mucking around with?

[Hpi_guy]

my personal choice is the ansmann mad rat, it may only be £40 and need a bearing kit but if you make a aluminum re-enforcement plate then they are a great car, mine is set up perfectly and never grip rolls and it is all stock

Having had a bad experience with a rtr brushless Mad Monkey (electrics seemingly not up to the job) i'd say it's between the B4.1 & the Losi 22. The Losi for me as it can be rear or mid (though mid parts not included with he rtr) & it's sensored, unlike the B4.1

i would say b4.1 purely for the fact i bought a rtr one last year and raced it all season and only broke a front shock tower, did change the electrics but only because i already had them other than that not touched it
