What Car
 

any advice is appreciated......

budget is £300

i have been fancying the DEX410R or even CATSX2.

looking to be competitive at club level.

what do you think ??

from what ive seen id def go for the durango

cat sx
 

hi, sx 1 might be a better option, as it has most of the ally op ups already on there. sx2 is a great car ( i have one ),but wished i went for the sx 1. then the only upgrade that needs to be done is the big bore shocks. hope this has helped.

Positives

Durango....almost bulletproof transmission, top quality design and manufacturing. Cheaper than Cat SX.

Schumacher....lots of setups available for UK tracks, and lots of hop ups etc...


Negatives

Durango...car might feel different to drive compared to a normal electric buggy, as its got fluid filled differentials. This is brilliant really, as it provides a useful tuning option, but might take some getting used to.

Schumacher....some known issues with idler gears (but they appear to have been fixed or resolved by now, very easy to drive etc.

Cheers

BranstonPickle, i am very interested in your car, i really wanted to build my own but its not the end of the world.

can i ask why your not getting on with it ?

and what are you currently racing ?

Don't forget the Kyosho ZX5-FS ... can be had for under £300 (check JE Spares) and it's simply open the box, build and enjoy!

Transmission is bullet proof and it's really nice to drive straight out of the box ... crazy strong too.
