Bit of advice please

[Gibber]

hello.

I'm looking to buy a 1/10 buggy (electric) I have £300 to £500 to spend and I would like it to be a kit this must include everything. I have been looking at a HPI cyber 10b.
I would like it to be upgradable so I can eventually have a go at racing. strictly amatuer.
What do you recommend?

Any help would be great.

Cheers.

Gib.

Hi Gib,

Andy at PBMracing (you can click on the link in my sig) has got

Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 Orion Brushless 4WD RC Buggy-NEW (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220506518927)

All you'll need then is lipo, charger and batts for your hand set and he's got all them in stock.

whoops my bad, I actualy want to build it, sorry. If I can build it from the ground up I hopefully will be able to tell what evrything is called... more importantly what it does hahaha.:confused:

Here you are then

Kyosho Lazer ZX5-FS Competition 4WD 1/10th Buggy Kit (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kyosho-Lazer-ZX5-FS-Competition-4WD-1-10th-Buggy-Kit_W0QQitemZ320447576813QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toy sGames_RadioControlled_JN?hash=item4a9c29faed#ht_3 242wt_967)

Or you can ring him as he has got everything in stock. Hand set, servo, electrics, chargers and batteries and he'll sort you a price out :)

I have a feeling i'm going to be crashing alot.:rolleyes:

Im guessing you want to do 4WD?

Best bet is to find your near club and go and talk to the people there, see what they are running etc etc...

I would personally recommend a B44, theres a few floating around on here at the moment for good money and its a brilliant car!!! Spares are widely available and a lot of people run them so set-ups are easy to find!

Then theres a fe more things to remember...

1- lipo batteries.. If you buy lipos make sure they are on the homologation list

2- Speedo and motor.. Brushless is your best bet, again make sure the motor is on the list

3- Sticks or steerwheel controller?? This is really down to preference

As i said above, find out where your local club is and pop down to a race meeting and have a browse around and ask some questions :thumbsup:

Hope this helps, Tom

thanks again, i'll have a look at both.

+1 for the B44. Seem very popular at the moment. Ideal if you're considering racing. Very robust and spares are very easy to get hold of.

+2 for B44., absolutely rock solid It also has a number of common parts with the 2WD B4, so you could enter both classes without 200% extra layout on spares.

I got the Cyber 10b and it's v good.
