HPI Cyber 10B !!!
I have one and I'm very happy with it. Not pro chassis, but still very nice and really competitive. Many parts fits from HB D4. A lot of tune parts.

Jconcepts BJ4 I have one 4 sale if you interested.

Not a bad choice for a B4 driver - many of the rear suspension parts are the same, as are the shocks, so a little bit of cross-over for parts. Parts availability for the stuff likely to break/require maintenance is good, mod the front bulkhead for B44 wishbones, double the front shock tower, use a Kimbrough-type servo saver and you're good.

My main issue with the original BJ4 was keeping the battery in the car - I ended up taping it to the battery strap. A few retainers, perhaps from a touring car (they use the same layout for battery placement, though they usually tape the battery in) fitted under the battery posts would do the job too.

Ftx vantage is a great buggy!!!

I had the alu lipo holder from a schumacher touring car and worked well (not included) removed the one way (included) as there was too much steering.

I haven't had any problems with the original shock towers, but that could be worth doing, its one of the toughest/best cars I have owned.

I have the losi shocks on it atm, (original and extra losi set included) they work great.

Servo saver, I have one but never used it, I didn't feel I had to as I had a ace1015

I have an original shell/and clear tray but have fitted a B44 vortex shell that fits well and was cheap, little more room in the rear as it doesn't taper in like the original.

I was stoked with the spares that fit from the other AE cars, there usually are abundant at races as tehre are lots of people running the B4/B44.

If I didn't get the dex410 to go with my 210 I would deffo keep it as as running stick packs in both 2 and 4wd was great

Another good thing is apart from the swap over parts is that Jconcepts still sell parts and kits

I've heard this question so many times!

I always recommend to sell stick packs, use the proceeds to get saddles (even if second hand...) and then use the saddles in all cars (even in stick layout in 2wds if necessary).
