Default Fancy a 4wd...

Hey guys, i started racing last week! and met quite a few of you at the last bury meeting, Mattb, Matt Laytham (Thanks for sorting my drive shaft!) bandit,
you were all really helpful.

Also i have been too Denton and leyland in the mean time. So lets just say i have been bitten by the bug!

So i'm thinking of getting myself a 4wd buggy. I have about £200 notes to spend. Ive seen the durango 410r which looks very nice, what other cars are worth considering? and as anyone got any for sale, if i do buy 2nd hand i would like to buy off someone i know has looked after the car.

I also have a few bits for sale/trade (for a 4wd)

- Schumacher Menace .21 (Highly Modified)
- 1/10 touring car ...Project... (full 4wd roller)

Any ideas would be appreciated!

I've got a Bmax I could sell. Its my spare car, but TBH I never use it - even when I popped my centre driveshaft last meeting I fixed the main car rather than use the spare. But despite the spare status its fully running and currently even has electrics.
There are several of us running Bmax's so there is plenty of support at the track, including whole cars worth of spares.
The car in question is essentially a Champ Pack version, but has Losi shocks.
I think I know of a couple of Lazers for sale as well. If you buy of someone from the club, its likely to be in reasonable nick.

The basic Lazer is quite fragile, but FS and FS2's less so.

If the Bmax interests you I'll probably be a Ribble next Friday so you can try it. I'm confident you won't break it because Bmax's are quite tough, and its got a mild motor in it, so you can test drive!

If you have a B4 a B44 could be a good idea? Strong cars with a few similar/shared parts with your B4.
