I was in the same position as you and i went for the BJ4, basically because it is a proven drive train and they are quite popular, also it is the european champ and world champ winning car so it cant be that bad

i went for a ZX5 and must admit it was a great choice. my results improved instantly, making regional A finals and qualifying 4th at the F3's this year.
the car is cheap compared to others. you do need to spend a small amount on key areas to make it 100% reliable or to to improve maintenance, but on the whole it is a great car. Second hand they are currently dirt cheap. You should be able to pick up a fully modified car with carbon shock towers and top deck etc for less than £150.

any of the main chassis are good cars in the right hands. it just depends on how you like your car to handle. best thing as always is go o your local club and see if you can have a few laps on different peoples cars to see which one suits you.

Well i went and got a BJ4 worlds of Ebay for £101 and i have to say you can throw it into corners like no other so i would definatly go for a Bj4 (worlds if you can afford it)

You're lucky, i'm struggling to find any on ebay at the mo

XX4. So easy to drive, yet still very quick. Just look at the national results from last year.

I was in this position a couple of months ago needing a 4WD car to make the trip to Tiverton for the F3's worthwhile, so we bought a secondhand XX4 worlds on eBay. Having never driven anything else 4WD I can't comment on how good they are, but I have never found any car as easy to drive as the XX4. However they are stupid money at the moment because alot of people seen to agree that they're a great car which keeps prices quite high...

I don’t no about the BJ4 but all the 4wd's I’ve run, the XX4 is I think the best, :thumleft: you can throw it into the corners at a fast pace and it is so stable, great for outdoors, rides the bumps really well and its allot cheaper than the BJ4 Worlds, for indoors I am trying the XXX4 because they are good for flat tracks and i thought id give it a go.

Or... just one BX!

You'd need at least four X10's to complete a five min race huh

ps. only joking!

[jimmy]

But - northy has one X10, and you have two BX's !




I think I currently have X10, ZX5, BJ4we, XX4 (needs some work) for my 4wd cars. I love them all, well, apart from the XX4 - but cos its ugly and in bits.
