Default 2wd buggy choices

I can't decide which midmotor 2wd to go for.
There's quite a good mix at my local club, DEX210, SV, SV2 and TC02C mainly.

I love the look of the SV2 but the DEX210 wins more races.

I don't want to be buying the kit and then having to spend more on getting the car up to scratch so which buggy is more capable 'out of the box'?

Which has the best parts availability?

Which has the most reasonable price spares.

I want a buggy that will grow with my ability. The option of tuning to one extreme or the other, something my Ansmann X2 is lacking. I enjoy tinkering as much as I do racing.

i think lookin at which wins more races is the wrong way to view it. If someone is a quick driver, they will be quick with just about any car. That said some cars do suit people better than others.

The durango is great on high grip but loses soemthing on slippy, and depending on your electrics and batteries might need weight adding to make it work for you.

Same with the SV2, one person i know is having to run about 150g of weight to make it work for them.

Might be worth having a look at the Hobao H2 Pro. Its priced much better, and you get alot of car for the money. Mine came today, and to be honest, i think its a higher quality car than the durango i have been running for the last year.

Thanks for the advice Steve. You're probably right about the quick driver comment.

The Hobao looks nice but I'd rather go for something that's been out a little longer.

I don't mind adding weight, it's cheap. I don't want to be forking out for gear diffs, alloy hubs etc. They can double the price of the kit!

Also worth noting the Hobao H2 comes with gear diff in the kit.
