Default Hobao h4s have gone up... Schumacher mi5 pro?

Opinions please people.
H4 has gone up at modelsport.
Too expensive now.
Schumacher mi5 pro looks good.
Opinions?
Looking to spend around the £200 mark...

Thanks folks...

Rob.

They are both £200?

Mi5 is an amazing chassis but there have been durability issues but people have come up with mods to combat this hence the Mi5 evo

Given the choice I'd probably choose the Schumacher for touring heritage but the H4 does look good with some new idea's and proven ones

You can get an h4 from ebay from hong kong for 175quid. Mi5 is a good car, h4e is just as quick and makes you feel more exclusive

Nope both come with a spool in the front, most touring cars do nowadays

Wouldn't that be a complete understeering pig on a wooden floor?...

You probably don't want steering on a slippery surface, use the brakes to unsettle the rear then power to drift round, diff will not help with no traction!

Guess I'll build it and try it! They have gone down again to £200 at modelsport although they are on back order. I've ordered one anyway. The h4 that is. I know a guy running one and they are very impressive.
