I run the 22 all season from new out the box...poo. Needs springs and hubs, weight. In my opinion easy to drive rear motor but not fast, really hard to drive mid motor. (hours of tuning and back to back testing)

210 Loved building it, built it with the same sort of set up as the 22 with the parts included in the box.

Without a proper run I don't know how well it will go, but if something needs tweaking ot ain't gonna cost more money!

get a 210!

If you were to get yourself a Vega RB5 you wouldnt be disappointed. If you look back through the Vega owners feedback thread on here you will see what I mean....

The only downside if there is one is the cost. To buy the donor car and the conversion kit works out a lot more expensive to buy than say a new 210.

You do get 2nd hand ones come up occasionally though so that may be an option.....? There is one for sale at present on here, although I dont know the seller so dont take this as a recommendation for that particular car from me - just highlighting that it is there.
