New Racer Advice
So I am in the process of looking for a 2WD 1/10th Electric Buggy for my son (he is 16) -- looking for something that runs nice out of the box, any advice on what to go for? Mainly looking for something that is easy to drive, and doesn't require a huge amount of setup initially, but something he can learn setups with as he goes along.
Mostly running on outdoor astro (RHR, A1, Broxtowe) Thx, Bagwaa

B5M by a country mile in my opinion. I actually don't drive one but my son does (14) and there are several at my local club. Possibly not the absolute fastest without some mods but fast out of the box, very easy to drive and spares are easy to get and cheap.
My son drove a B5M as his first ever 2WD at a national race at the very slippy Worksop on Jan this year and was not last  Having said that there are no real bad cars out there so the std advice is to go to the clubs you mention, see what is being driven as you will be able to get lots of setup advice.

They are all much the same now really now the new gen of 2wd's are coming out.
YZ2, Xray XB2 and Sworks S12-1m all much alike Yokomo needs no upgrades other than weight if wanted Sworkz needs no upgrades other than some weight if wanted Xray XB2, no idea but looking at its pace at the worlds on a production kit, id say its not gonna need any upgrades other than weight if desired as well. All very good quality.

Either the yokomo or associated are really good for a newbie. Think you should take a look online and have a look for yourself and see which one appeals to you more. A few companies are bringing out new cars such as SWorkz which is going to be a strong car but also an easy car to drive if it goes as good as their 4wd.

Schumacher KF2 all the way, great car for all conditions. It will be the most popular car at those clubs so you will have plenty of Schumacher drivers who can offer advise on setups.
Regards, James.
