but i need advice what to pick -

Schumacher cougar SV

doesn't come with electrics but comes with a lot of spares (including a roller)
under £120

Durango DEX210 (V2)
setup as Mid Motor 4 gear
New TYRES
2 shells and 2 rear wings
Flysky gt3B transmitter and receiver
New springs
New leopard brushless 9T 4370kv motor and ESC

Durango not the easiest to find parys for now once very popular now poorly supported

B4 older rear motor style excellent car but a bit dated in the new mid motor era

Xray xb2 if Its the 4wd less front shafts good but not that popular

Sv2 good all-round car but as as I have offered you my two for sale I can't comment unbiasedly

My choice yz2 or b5m

Mainly go to your local track see what is popular get advice from them

As above..! Definitely YZ2 or B5m.....B5m is best option..good car, lots for sale at moment because of new B6...reason it is half the price of the YZ2...

I'd also suggest looking at a KF2 - so many available cheaply now on here and eBay, I picked up a great KF2 for just under £110 in the last few weeks (no electrics though).

There may be a newer version on it's way which is making them cheaper but still a very capable car, I also run a YZ2 and would second the comments above - also a great car, hope that doesn't add to the confusion!!!

For around £100 secondhand.
B5M better in low grip
KF2 better in high grip

You've not mentioned a yoke bmax2. Still a great buggy and can be picked up for <£100

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...

Default B5m

Go for the B5m its a good neutral buggy and goes well.
Yoko is great as well but more expensive.
KF2 is good but more delicate and imho harder to drive than the b5m or yoko.
The new B6 is the nuts - and a brand new one is £239 and fast out the box no mods needed.

Bangs for your bucks gotta be the B5m
