Most raceable older 4wd car?
Hi everyone. I have started doing a little bit of off road again after making my 57th ish comeback. A few of the over 40's brigade are running older cars, one an old Yokomo yz-10 and a couple of Cat 2000's. What 4wd cars from the early 2000 era are the most raceable as far as reliability and spares are concerned? I am running an original B44 but that's not really the same! Cheers

I sold my old XX4 world's on here some time ago. I think it was sold on for more money. Good shout though.

Yz10 is sturdy but bits are not easy to come by. Cat 3000 isnt really old enough to be a vintage, plus not that good a car.
I use a lazer zxr and all chassis bits, ujs, belts, shells, and most items are still easy to get. Check out the lazer zxr thread.

There's a few others to choose from the early 2000's, like Pred, Mr4BC, XXX4 that I can think of off top of my head.
But Schumacher is a good choice as they still have a stock of old parts on their website.

As James said the YZ10's are good sturdy cars but there not cheep and the parts are golf through the roof.
I would say go back to what you wanted when you were yong and couldn't afford, that's what I did and started with a Procat and I've got back further to an XLS which is a joy to drive. You can pick Cat 2k's up cheep and parts seam very reasnoble too.

I'm afraid the Cat 2000 puck setup (plastic bit sliding on rear joints) won't hold the BL and lipo power we have now.
Nice challenge though!

The blades: http://www.racing-cars.com/pp/Old_Ca..._SE/U1918.html
I used to run a Cat 98 SE around 2005-2006, and with a 10t brushed motor, the blades didn't last very long. It can only be worse with any powerful BL motor. Maybe a 10.5 with moderate timing would be okay, but watch those blades.

Funny you should mention that. Yesterday I was racing, and my mate had his CAT 2000 EC out on track (a slippery bumpy astro track). He raced it at the A1 club Iconic revival with a 6.5 turn all day with no problems. Yesterday one of the pucks (blade) came off of one of the rear driveshafts. Alloy outdrive was wrecked instantly. I can only guess it was the bumpy nature of the track, or bad luck.

Oh yes I'm with you.
Those driveshafts rip through once they've caught. |
