Considering a defection to off road

[jameshealey]

Hi Guys,

I've raced RC for about a year now I've raced 12th Scale On Road and 10th Nitro Touring Cars previously.

I've been looking into classes supported locally compared to the travelling involved in going to my local rc circuit.

It seems 10th Off Road is the most popular, and as far as I'm concerned only 2WD interests me I much prefer the feel of 2WD cars and the lower maintenance (belts are a nightmare)

So what kits are good? the DEX210 and Cougar SVR look quite good and both are supported by my local hobby shop (MB Models).

It also appears there are less motor rules for off-road, so would something like a HPI Flux Pro 6.5T and a Speed Passion GT2.0LPF be suitable?

Also can someone explain slipper clutches to me.
