Default 2wd car

I'm after getting myself a new 2wd car. In the new year. Could anyone recommend a car. Looking at doing the regionals. Looking at around the £200 mark. Where spares are easy to get.

Default 2wd

Yokomo YZ-2 works well on most surfaces with minor tweaking, solid build quality spares are readily available at most shops

Hi, there's a few different styles of 2wd at the minute. Schumacher Kf/kf2 for super high grip tracks. Yokomo YZ2 (low gearbox design) med-high grip etc.

For me a good all round car that go well on all is the associated B5M. Very strong and goes well out of the box, easy to get spares, easy to setup. I regret selling mine, it wasn't as fast on carpet as my kf, but it was easier to live with.

Most of the tracks in my region are low grip. I've only ever owned second hand cars. So thought I would treat myself.

I'd go for the Team Associated B5M Champions Edition. Good all round car as it comes with various option parts like 3gear & 4gear transmission, flat & gullwing arms/towers plus all the essential hop-ups: ti toe/camber links, alloy ball stud mount, alloy hexes.

Default B5m

If you are after a nice Neutral easy to drive buggy b5m which does well in all conditions.

I drive a midmotored (for the wet) and low grip Kf (for the dry) and really like them but after driving the B5m I can thoroughly recommend it.

The new losi 22-3 when it comes out may also be worth waiting for.

Have looked at the new PR racing s1v3 this is a 3 gear laydown gearbox and the quality is right up there with the rest of the cars on the market, the price of the kit and spares are below the rest of the company's.
Go and have a look on the insideline racing web site at the prices
This kits are strong.

Do you think it's better than the KF?
