why the hell would i do that?? I am really interested in knowing what people think is the best 4wd drive buggy seeing as clearly you guys have much more experience with buggies as i am stuck with touring cars (for geographical reasons, i.e. as the nearest off road track is 1.5 hours away)

Best buggy in the world right now is my one.
'Cos it is mine.
You can buy a buggy like mine but it is still not as good as my one because it is not mine, it is yours, and your one is not as good as mine.

No, hes asking what is the best car in the world..and seeing as probably none of use have raced every car in the world, the Worlds is a damn good benchmark :)

Everyone says that the such and such a car is the best as it won the worlds but is it because its the best or is it because loads of people where running them take the b44 loads of drivers where running them at the worlds so lots of people could try diffrent things with setup so they could get the car dialled quicker than someone who was the only person running the car i dont think there is a best car in the world. I think its what ever you can get work best for you. And which car has a good team behind it.

There is no worlds best car it's the drivers thumbs, lines they take on the track and how they understand the likes and dislikes of the car they have, support is always nice as you can find out what setups are best easily, theres lots of 4wd cars out there at current and are all amazing for the different driver needs
Elliott Hopkins

We have a Pie Shop in Reading called 'Sweeney and Todd' (fnah) and it does the best Rump Steak and Stilton Pie.
There's my vote.

setups dont work for every driver, every driver "drives differently" give a buggy setup for a club driver and give the same buggy to neil cragg "Which driver will win", the club driver will be faster with a different setups but this will not make you a world champion the thumbs have got it every time ;)

Craggy was up Frankely on Sunday and didnt look best happy, AND he had very little hair...
I bet you that the coolness of your hair is quite important..unless you go past the point of cool hair into the relms to looking like a girl hair..or like a convict hair.
Need more sculpting wax, im on for TQ!

As has been said by a few ........ The best car is the one which suits you. I can't get on with the BJ4WE and it's clones, others go very well with it.
If we are talking the best car for the average driver I'd say the things to look out for are;
how neutral it is with a box stock set up -- more neutral the quicker you'll have it how you want
how adjustable out of the box -- more adjustment means more potential to get it how you want
how strong it is -- more time driving less time working on it
maintenance levels -- most people don't want to be working on the car all week
what is spares availability like -- easier to get spares = more time driving, less on the phone / net
When you consider all the above there is no one car that is "ideal".

(sorry for being a noob) but why would anyone eat pie when they can have fish and chips????
Do shaft drive cars in 4wd drive buggys (such as the x10) suffer from torque steer (i.e. the motor is so powerful that it tries to force the drive train to revolve around it) as the motors you guys run like 5.5's must have this effect... or does the slipper prevent this completely??
Southwell
18-01-2008, 08:24 AM
Torque steer is only really a problem in touring cars, off road you wont notice it.
25pie
18-01-2008, 08:25 AM
really nothing in off road?? amazing
Chrislong
18-01-2008, 08:35 AM
If we had smaller/lighter wheels & tyres, then it would, but the rotation of our 4 heavy wheels & tyres at speed overpowers any torque steer effect from the motor directly.
markwilliamson2001
18-01-2008, 09:00 AM
I have to say that for spares availability, cost, spec and handling out of the box, the B44 looks ace! Is also has the servo saver and slipper clutch which the BJ4 does not... so...
Thats my two cents, and I drive a XX4 and am unsponsered.
Although I have to say that for most peeps at club level, a B4 would be easily capable of beating others with 4wd cars depending on the driver of course!

If my theory is correct, I wonder what Pidge's obsession with wearing hats over his hair will do to future results??
Maybe an exception to the rule?

its all done under the hat!!!
Chris Doughty
18-01-2008, 09:22 AM
what that does is create a super-matted effect so he can take off his hat for the main and out spring an amazing doo....

Northy
18-01-2008, 10:58 AM
A pasty is a poor mans pie, so would maybe work a little but not as well.
It is possible that different pies could enhance different characteristics of an rc car. It could be a whole new world of tuning options.
I think we need the set-up man Elvo onto this....... :cool:
