Default which buggy do I buy?

Ack, I cant decide whether to choose the X5, BJ4 worlds , or the Atomic Carbon S4 when its released, or even the xx-4, which do I choose?

I will be running it at club level, mostly indoors, and outdoors at Batley. But which one?

hehe, thought you may say that Chris, seriously, I will take a look at it, as I have always had 'AE' cars, so Jconcepts would fit all the screws and TC3 diffs I have

All spenny cars, the X5 is available as a conversion if you can find a cheap 2nd hand XX4 (chris ? lol) or full kit. the S4 will be available as an upgrade to the BJ4 (again, if you find a cheap used car its cheaper) or Atomic might release a full kit one day.

The XX4 is a good car, but to be honest is a bit too much to work on for me. if something goes that is my entire round of photos gone since the car is a pig to work on ( in my opinion, others might disagree).

I've been running the BJ4 worlds recently which is an ace car and now even better with the S4 towers, Atomic rear topdeck and XX4 shocks on.

The X10 is always an option, its certainly a strong car, the only bit that ive really seen get damaged recently is the spur.

You'll be happy with any of the modern cars, but happiest with a BJ4

If you fancy a go with one come see me one of the Batley meetings

Id recommend the X-5, but everyone expects me to do that nowadays.

Pro's:
It has the handling traits of the XX-4, with the added speed/efficiency of the XXX-4. It is also easy to work on, easier than 2wd! (Maybe I got used to it?)

Con's:
None found.
