if you are going 4WD then the blizzard is definatley a better car, as far as i can see all you need to do is put a better set of shocks on it. i run the X4Pro, and it is very competative think of the blizzard as the basic bmax.

Blizzards are good but they dont come with a slipper.
The X4-pro is the way to go.... £170 if you shop around

Hi Guys, Newbie here, I have a Blizzard, and a M Smacker, neither have a slipper and was wondering what are the advantages of one?

Sorry a bit Dim when it comes to technicalities!

Oh and as a newbie I find the Smacker much tougher than the Blizzard, but I can crash both quite easily!

The slipper clutch in a 4wd is mostly to cushion the drivetrain from rough landings. I've run cars without them in the past and it hasn't been a huge issue, although I tend to be a bit gentler on the throttle than other drivers.

Get a second hand B44, a competative car, with all the bits on, and you may even get some spares.
