AE B44 v Durango DEX410

[savageracer1]

I know these threads get posted all the time, but i really am stuck here, on what to get out of the car's above. I'll be racing a Jarrow indoor's and some NE Regionals next year, i am also coming over from Rallycross (for the winter) dont know if this info is relevant but i thought it may help , My sponsor radio-racers stock's both cars and all of the parts for both cars so i cant really make a decision based on best spares back up. Anything that you would like to say about either car, please post


Thanks
Jake

Swings and Roundabouts mate, I think it depends on whether you will 'feel' the difference on the track of the Durango, over the B44, and whether the small price increase is worth the cost?

Bear in mind that a lot of people more at club level may have B44's, but look around at your local clubs to see whats popular, and fairly successful.

The B44 also shares a lot of spares and parts with the B4/SC10/T4 etc, so parts will more likely to be much easier to get hold of, should your local shop close (something which is becoming more common of late, I am sad to say).

I own a B44, and its great, but I am not really into 'bling' and I like the B44 indoors (which is where I run most of the time). The Durango has gear diffs, which can help adjust the handling, and are more bombproof than ball diffs IMO... Also other peeps at my club run B44's, so we can help each other out with spares etc..

HTH a bit

Durango, by far the best car I've had in over 20 years of buggering about with toy cars.

B44, on the other hand, was the worse I've raced. Everyone I know who bought one, has got rid of them.

Parts doesn't come into it, both are easy to get hold of, plus the Durango doesn't need much in the way of spares, whereas I carried a hell of alot of bits around for the B44.

I race a B44 on my hometrack and it is awesome. I just ordered a DEX410R and hopefully it will perform at least as good as the B44.
So should you get no help for your decision on this topic do it like i did: buy both
P.S.: So far i only broke a damper piston and a front wishbone so it´s a very tough car IMO.
