Which 2wd?

[sfry61]

Hi

I'm considering buying a 2wd buggy. Which one would work best on grass and astro?

I want something cheap and reliable.

Thanks

if price is a factor then you won't get better performance/cash than the X2C. Around £120 - 130 new. fit a nylon idler gear if it isn't already included in the kit and job done.

schumacher cougar sv2 get my vote

that the problem with these questions, everyone has a different opinion.
I ran a cougar last year and i couldn;t get on with it. Far too agressive and difficult to string 5 minutes together. The X2c in comparison feels really stable and safe to drive and easy to keep on its wheels for 5 minutes.
Although in fairness the cougar was well built and strong, slightly better material quality than the X2C, but you would expect that for the price.

The only real way to decide is to try out a couple of different cars on your short list at a club and see which drives the way you want.

It depends what you want for your money. The X2C is about £60 cheaper than the SV2, but for the extra £60 you get a laser etched alloy chassis rather than a plastic tub, CF shock towers as opposed to plastic, big bores shocks.... If you are happy with the plastic of the X2C then you can't go wrong for £130. If you wanted to upgrade it to a spec similar to an SV2 though you would probably end up spending more in the long run than you would by just buying an SV2 in the beginning.

That said, there is no reason why you can't be successful with the X2C so if that is what you want and you are happy with it then go for that one. After all Kyosho use composite chassis and shock towers and they are bloody good cars!
