Default Which 1/10th on-road?

Hi there,

Used to race 2wd buggies (Losi XXX) at Oxon Buggy Club (think I was there at the death of that thing) Anyone remember going?

Anyway, I now race TT-01 at Teeside.

Quite fancy moving to something a little more top end in On-road. Been looking at either the TC5, A Mi3.5 (or Mi3) or maybe Xray and Hot Bodies.

Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for good car to good value.

Thanks

I used to race at Oxon from '96 until 2000 in the days when it was still going strong and hosting mid south regionals & Radio Race Cars. Then moved away and was sorry to hear it had folded.

Anyway, racing off-road again now, but in answer to your question if it was me I'd go for an Mi3.

never been to the club mentioned, so cant comment... I have moved to off road from on road (what a learning curve that is) recently.
Thecar I would recommend would be the team associated tc5. (see the for sale section). handles really well, and was rocket ship fast straigh outta the box. From what i know of the mi3, it was a little on the flimsy side, but also it was a very good car. it all comes down to personal preference, Xray are awsome build quality, they just release new cars every 6 months. (or so it seemed). Personal choice at the end of the fday mate.
