New, racing - What to buy?

[Gavin9]

Hello all,

was on the msuk forum and got told about this site. I had a grasshopper 2 as a kid (raced at frodsham) and moved up to a losi xxx s as an adult though never raced it. years on I want to get back involved. Southport is local enough for me and im advised that the 1/10 2wd off road is well supported. I guess any car choice is subjective but I would be grateful of any reviews of competitive cars in this class...reading up and speaking to a few it appears the cougar, losi 22 and dex 210 are decent options? Any info or any moer options gratefully appreciated....thanks in advance....

I don't think you would go far wrong with any of losi 22, Durango 210 or a sv2!

All these are popular with drivers at Southport. Maybe pop along one day and have a poke and prod of a few cars and see which you like.

If you go to Southport have a look at Nick Caro's RB6 ... I can assure you that after experiencing one of those nothing else will do!!

if u can aford it go for the rb6 if not then the dex210 or sv2 but stay away from the losi 22 dont handle so good oh and centro b4 1 are good but the conversion to the centro is costly 159 pounds

Check out the results on www.srcc.co.uk as the top driver has a 22, so it can't be that bad.

Ps I drive/crash a Durango.
