Durga or XX4 WE

[rcciao]

Been looking to get back into the hobby with a 4wd buggy. Just looking for a backyard basher with some potential to race.

Can buy a new Durga for about $200USD or new xx4 we for about $250USD. Which car would be better? I've been struggling to decide.

Any and all feedback appreciated

the xx4 has race pedigree but got to wonder how long parts will be supported, the Durga is new and will have parts support for the forceable future and is pretty robust.

Well for racing the xx4we but for bashing the durga.

Ash, the Durga is also a competitive beast to, it shares the same geometry as the 501X so it got pedigree.

XX4 owners got to think about parts support now.

yeah, xx4 parts support is a concern, but i would try to stock up on some spares and hopefully minimize breakages by running primarily as a backyard basher.

how about maintenance? it seems the durga requires less maintenance.

what about the ability to handle brushless. is the durga gearing robust enough?

its been said several times on other thread but just incase you've forgotten, there's only 1 part in short supply and thats the chassis ALLLLL other parts are in stock and will continue to be produced!

My box stock Durga managed a 17th in round (out of 49) at the last NE regional using a 19T motor, my first outing with the car, a year since I last raced a buggy.

Never finished close to that with my Lazer ZX-5.

Durga has all the fundamentals to be a great car. Might even be quicker than a 501X in some conditions when upgraded.

And none of the Durga moulds are broken yet!
