Sand-Viper

I was wondering if anyone has tried racing with one?I was thinking about something different to run becides Associated or Losi.

Dont try it. You cannot fit a slipper and so will wheelie all the time. then you will break it and wont be able to get spares track-side. If you dont want a Losi or Associated.. get a Kyosho RB5

You should of course get an Associated...

Thanks i was just thinking something different a B4 is a good buggy but everone got one so maybe i'll just check out the new Academy buggy.

I've had one of them to and its a good buggy to i'm running a BK2 now it fast just don't turn as good as some of the others ohwell i like to be different.I just saw one of the sand vipers on eBay and they are cheap i hadn't saw one before,so maybe i need some of them special pills.

I am in a special position of owning all three and the B4 is the way to go, easy to build, setup and dial in, parts aplenty too. Bk2 is a nicer more sedate drive but just don't feel as good as the B4. Sand Viper/Desert Gator etc etc... kids toy or backyard basher, handles ok, but not really adaptable.

[ashleyb4]

again its all personal opinion and in my opinion the cr is the way to go its nicer to build than the b4 and i preffer the way it feels its so smooth and very fast.

I thought they were all toy's?

[DCM]

If you don't want to run Losi or AE then I'd say try an RB5 .... jumps and drives like the Losi but with the steering of a B4 ... best of both worlds really.

Brian made the Acadamey car look good last time I saw it go ... if the support is going to be there it might be worth a go too.

I went for the RB5 as it suited me .... that is the best advice .. get the car that suits your driving style the best not what fashion says to get!

[Papa88]

My LHS don't carry Kyosho so parts would be a pain to get,some of the guys are getting the new Academy buggy and it looks good on the track but some of them are having Diff problems so i guess i'll just stay with Losi.
