The losi 22 is durable but around £200. Ansmann x2c £135-£150 But a little britle, Cougar i have heard that you need to upgrade alot of bits to get working ( dont quote me I have been told by a few people). I run the x2c it's a very good with handleing and very stable, im quicker with that than the 22. I'm really enjoying the Ansmann and parts are very cheap.

+1 for the X2C
much cheaper than most other competition cars and the spares are cheap too.

Very easy to drive compared to most others. Most weaknesses have already been addressed with modifications. Even with these upgrades, it stills comes out far cheaper than others

Hi there... it has gotta be Associated B4 for me if you can find one still... Associated B4.1 is the current version and appears just as good, if not a little better, than the original B4...

Parts are available everywhere and hop-ups are numerous too! Go ahead, get the Associated, you won't be dissappointed.. :thumbsup:

B4 is not as competitive on uk tracks any more. It is also not as easy to drive or jump

I would say schumy, the back up is fantastic and the S1 is only £130 now.

upgrades, not really many unless you want to.

I have a CF pro and i feel the carbon is not needed, the S1 is fine.

and with it being british, there are spares everywhere and sooooo glad i stayed with schumacher.....

I say go S1 cougar...........

Or, the X2c, that would be my 2nd choice, as mentioned, spares are cheap and good from the box to.....

have a look at your local club and go from there is the advice i was given and took, but i swayed the schumy way as was into them 22 years ago.
Must say the support from schumacher is 2nd to none and never had any issues finding spares.........:thumbsup:

+ one on the cougar s1 a absolute bargain at £130
and as stated parts and spares back up are second to none
