1/10th electric 4wd off road

[oldschoolracer]

looking for a 4wd buggy, already have a cougar pro cf. liking the schumacher product alot, but thinking of veering away from them for 4wd, although still really like the cat, the team durango dex410 2010spec has also caught my eye. why is there such a price hike between these two buggys? is it a case of you get what you pay for? so any suggestions or feedback on these buggies or any other contenders in the 4wd department? thanks :confused:

Both great cars mate, You could consider the durango 2010 spec as a fully hoped up kit with nothing else to buy except for springs etc and is bullet proof !!! If then you look at the SXII, too make it as bullet proof you wouldn't be far off the durango. My opinion ;)
Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one !!!!!!!

I was in a similar situation to you (few years ago) and decided I wanted a change, so went to associated, but didn't get on with it at all.....sometimes it's just good to stay with what you are happy with. I will always be a schumacher driver to be honest.
However, there's always plenty of cars around to have a go with, but driving one for 5 mins is only part of it, you will be stripping it down and working on it for more time than actually driving it.

But as Stegger says, it's only my opinion!

The DEX410R has proven to be a winner aswell if you didnt wont to fork out for the DEX410. Just requires aluminum sus. brace.
Have you read the oople review on it? http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/review410r/

I was in the same frame of mind really looking at the durango but i have a cougar and i do really like it a lot,but then i started to compare the two,thought about it few things made me choose the cat,rear wheels same,shocks,springs,odd part here &there.Cells fit both cars,so to me cheaper to get the cat.

... unless you buy a Kyosho of course! I give my diffs a check once every 4-6 months depending on what conditions the car has been run in (normally just before the start of the regional season, before the start of the winter season then again over Xmas break).
If your after a bomb proof, almost zero maintanance chassis then the ZX5-FS is what your looking for. Mine has run sweet as a nut for nearly 2 years now without a single mechanical failure or any serious maintanace needed :)
