Default Want to try off-road

Hi all,
I've been racing touring cars for about a year now and a few of us are thinking about giving off-road a shot to see if we like it.

I've read a fair bit about the SB Carbon, and it seems to be great value !

Can any recommend somewhere to purchase the kit + spares in the UK ? We're thinking of all buying the same kit to share spares to begin with, are they easy to come by ? (spares)

Is there anything we should watch out for with these ? weak points, possible upgrades/conversions etc..

Many Thanks
Chris

The only upgrade I would consider a must-have is the diggity designs carbon towers and front hinge pin brace.

www.diggitydesigns.com

I have yet to break any of those pieces

Many thanks for that. I can't seem to find anyone in the UK that will get the Pro version imported ? Looks like stormer hobbies in the US is going to be the way to go.

models in motion stock the academy stuff, they have the SB sport v2 so should be able to get the pro version easily enough.
