Looking to race: FTX Fury at Hereford

[markwilliamson2001]

After my first visit to Hereford on this Friday gone, I was keen to find out a bit more about running a Micro.. mainly to save wear and tear on my buggy, especially since if I break the buggy before a weekend meeting, it could be hard to get spares.

From what I have read the FTX and AE cars seem to be quite popular.

Anyway... It is mainly going to be for racing at club level only, but not for bashing, and I was hoping for something that was going to pretty low maintenance and cost/hassle.

This is where the the FTX Fury came in, since it has brushless motor, and Li-po battery & charger included in the price. However, has anyone experience of this car and package, and would it take the punishement from the jumps or are there some recommended upgrades?

I know that the normal FTX Blaze requires some upgrades for reliability and strength. Are the RC18 series cars better?

Thanks
Mark
