Advice on buying a XXX-cr please

[liam]

Hi


Id like to hear feedback from people who run this car (non mid-converted) as Im tempted to get one seeing as there going for bargain prices

Dont even say get a B4!

How does it steer, jump, handle rough parts etc etc

what are the good and bad points of this buggy?

Ive heard some people arnt keen on them

Id mainly be running indoors and outside on astro

Currently Ive got a xx...how do they compare

I like the idea of a XXX because parts are easier to source!

thanks for your input

I changed from a B4 to the CR at the end of 2008 and stuck with it into spring of this year before I went back to the B4.

I loved the amount of rear grip it had, but could never get it to stay on line through a corner - indoors or out.
Apart from that it there wasn't much to choose between the two.

Happy to chat about it this Friday if you want.

PS: Get a B4!

If they were all as cheap as this I may think about it!

So the XXX understeered?

Not to different from your B4 then Pete!

LOL, I asked for that!
at least it is predictable, unlike the CR and I know that it will be fine once setup, unlike the CR!

I've had a XXX-CR since feb and it's been a mixed bag - mostly due to my bad driving however!

When setup properly, they are very forgiving and can take quite a bit of abuse. I've had trouble getting the right amount of steering from mine (often too much oversteer at high speed and too much understeer at low speed), however there is another guy at my club (The Doctor) who has his perfectly tuned.

They are certainly a good bargain at the moment and there are a couple of mid motor conversion options available if you decide to go down that route.
