micro for home garden track

[cjm_2008]

as per the title, I'm looking for advise on which micro would work best in a back garden grass surface pravtIce sItuaIon, ideally 2wd.

it should be entertainingly quick but not obscene as the longest straight I can manage would be 12 metres.

the grass is pretty short but quite bumpy. I've tried my brushless micro sct out there and the poor thing just can't cope, though it's awesome in my new lounge!

are there any 1/18th scale buggies that I should be looking at for this?

Not a 2wd as such but the Losi mini 8 answers all your questions here.
Otherwise I think that there are some 14th or 1/16ty scale short course trucks out there

i would have to be losi mini8 as that is basically what it was built for

I may be a bit biased but for 2wd back garden fun the TamTechs fit the bill perfectly. Cheap second hand ones can be found and they are transformed with a set of oil shocks and a tuned motor or brushless set up. Spares are pennies and they are tough as old boots especially if you go for the GB02 front end.
Check out Jimmy's reports on the Frog and Buggy Champ and see what you think.

Craig, I got a Tamiya 16th scale truck that I never use.... batteries and maybe a brushless system...

Just hire a roller and flatten the grass. Problem solved
