I run both 2wd B4 and 4wd B44 both team associated, the reason why i went with associated is because either loads of people have them or used to have them so will be loads of people for tips and advice not to mention spares from other racers and spares from model shops are easy to get hold of !!!

4wd is better for indoor racing (more grip)

2wd and 4wd both good outdoors with the right tires and setup.........

The choice is yours

7.4v 2S stick pack or saddle pack but gettiing saddle packs will be a better idea as you can use them in most both stick and saddle chassis cars, the higher the MAH the longer the will last, the higher the C rating is the faster they will discharge, both types must be hard cased for racing............heres a list of race legal batteries

Castor? Really?

I think I've only ever seen 1 of those cars in my life!

Get along to Seaham on Sunday evening, I'm expecting quite a few drivers turn up!

We will keep you right
