Cougar SVR

[l0p3d0g]

Hey guy's.

A mate has pulled my leg to get in to 1:10 club racing.

Think i'm going for a Cougar SVR.

I'm a Nitro man so this would be my 1st electric buggy. I currently own an 808.

I need some help with choosing

• Motor
• Servo
• ESC
• Motor Pinion
• Lipo
• Charger
  

I dont have a massive budget but would like to get somthing to get me going

What surface are you going to be racing? If its Astro/carpet, then a mid motor buggy might be a better option. For dirt, rear motor all the way.

It could be a mixture of both, as they race indoors in winter and outdoors in summer.

I have also been looking at the Losi 22 RTR, i guess i would only need some lipos and a charger then?

Losi 22 and Durango DEX210 can be converted between mid motor and rear motor without buying a conversion. The 210 is due to be released in RTR flavour very shortly but as with most RTR's, the electrics are aimed at the 'sportsman' class.

Which one would you choose if you had the choice, the Losi 22 or the Durango DEX210?

I understand the electrics wont be the best but i guess it would get me going, to make sure i like it. I can always upgrade i guess

Durango, As a lot of people have said that the 22 Can be tricky to set up

I presume you have been racing a decent amount of time and know how to drive? Trouble is the electrics on the ready to run cars would make your experience unenjoyable because if you are any good you will be beyond your equipment. The electrics are aimed at novice/beginner end!

You can easily find good 2nd hand electric for a reasonable price posted on here, theres stuff everyday. (Am actually going to put some stuff on myself when i get round to it)

Car wise I have just sold my 210. I would highly recomend it however for your position. It is cheap and great out of box in kit standard. You can buy extras for it but like you said to just give it a go you will be fine. They are easy to drive, easy to set up and forgiving. I have just got myself a Losi 22 but from good mates running the cars they can be a pain and hard to set up to your own liking. So out the 2 id say 210. Not saying you wouldnt be okay with a 22 just IMO not as safe option, sure plenty might disagree with me

Hope that helps
