Default 2wd

I recently got a 4wd setup for my son to run at the local club and noticed most drivers are running 2wd.
The 4wd kit is ideal for son as he is new to the hobby but i quite fancy getting a 2wd for myself in the near future.
Most the racers were running PR kits so it makes sense to get the same kit but is there much difference between the v2/v3 kits?
I only plan to run at the club as ive always been an average driver so theres no point breaking the bank.
Also what are the team c kits like? They seem reasonably priced and parts readily available

I am fairly new to buggies, started about 6 or 7 months back

I fell in love with the PR as its great spec out the box, things like carbon parts, ally rear hubs etc

at the time I didnt know anyone with one as I became a sheep and got a used B6

month or so ago I decided I simply must have the PR FM V3, its awesome, I really love it

ive had a couple of proper "whhhoooooops" moments, you know the sort, the ones where the accident takes so long to happen that you have time to clench buttocks and mumble lots of expletives... LOL

nothing broken,

spares are cheap if you did need them, I only bought set of wishbones as I wanted gullarms for rear £7.99 for 4 wishbones, they look near indestructible

in fact I loved it so much I bought the 4wd a week later, had never even driven a 4wd but figured it looked great so must be great I wasnt wrong

I would try to get the latest version as possible, mainly becuase it will stay"current" for longer and have better resale value if you decide to move it on

Thanks for the reply Tony,
I think if i am going to get a 2wd its going to be the mm as it will be running on a gym floor and have being advised this would be the best kit for grip.
I love the look of the 4wd 401 and the new lw is just

Team C Evo is a cracking mid motor car for low grip tracks.

Bit the bullet and just ordered a PR S1 V3 (MM) from Insidelines.
I think it makes sense to run similar to other club members for help and setup tips.
I may get the 401 lw later in the year
