Academy SB-V2 Vs Yokomo MR4-BC

[MikePimlott]

i have a friend who is starting racing (just sold his 360 for the funds :confused: ) i have advised he get a B4 or something easy but he seems adament about getting a 4wd SB.
Just as a bit of advice which of the above would be better SB or MR4BC ???

I liked my SB, in fact i have three, for sale ;)
I didn't like the BC, they seemed to go wrong a lot.

I never had any problems with my old MR4BCS, and it was built like a tank. Only broke it once and that was after a flat out cartwheel at DHD on the banked corner.

Little bit skitty over some of the rough stuff even after I modded it to saddle pack, but still a quick car.

Only downside is the spares are a bit pricey - but then eBay prices are pretty good these days.......

for the few times i ran an SB i liked it, mine was also built like a tank, i loved it just didnt have the time to run it :( so i now have two forsale, i think the info is still somewhere in the forsale part of this site. my brother used to own an MR4-BC special which he thought was a great car, he just couldnt get it to run correctly, i think it was something to do with one of the diffs :confused: im not sure, hope this helps.

If your friend can get it, go with the SB V2 Pro. Lots of improvements that make it a pro level car over the SB V2 Sport.
