TRF502X, DEX410, or B44.1?

Hello guys,

I need help to pick a new car. Gonna run this car on a outdoor dirt track, hard-packed, bumpy, and sometime gets really dusty. All of these cars have parts support in my area. So far, I'm a bit biased to B44.1 but it seems the most fragile out of this three cars.

So, which car do you guys think should I pick?

Thanks

B44.1 is most not à fragile car. It can take a lot of abuse. But Durango is a better choise if the conditions are as you say. Easy to work on when everything is dialed in with electrics and so on.
Tamiya and Associated got undertrays if you want to keep dirt out.

Thanks for your input, can you tell me why the durango is better in this condition? Is it because the weight?

This is purely based on me alone but the Trf502x on track seems very very planted, jumps great and at our club out qualifies all Durango. Seems very strong and really easy to work on. There's also more room for electrics. I'm in no way going to say anything negative towards the other chassis mentioned. They all go well, just really comes down to what you as an individual are looking for in a buggy. If you do go Trf502x do Lees steering mod, so much better in and out the corners.

I agree with previus speaker. All of todays existing Racing buggys are great machines and If i were you I would look to where you can get The best support regarding spares and what is the most common modell at your track.
People put too much faith in car itself than to them selves. Beleive me, I have owned every 4wd out there and I am now with Ae. Why? Cuz there spares are cheep and easy to get a hold of. It can handle brutal punishment and The drive train is bullitproof. Ae got The hardest and most durable axles and outdrives of them all. And I run it on exactly the same type of tracks as you. Then an undertray is most valuable
Go with what ever car you choose and stick with it and really put in the time to learn your ride and learn how to drive before you change car again. Took me a lot of cars before I discovered that fact so hope this helps.

To answer your Durango question I say this. On dirt the geardiffs really dig in and helps with the acceleration. I had one and it was easy to set up for bumpy dirt tracks. But so is any any car now a days when I know what to change

502or511 any day. I have had the 410 and it's great but you will hate the oil diff. 502 is planted out of the box. And parts are not as hard to get as people moan about. You can buy them from me or jt models : )
