You really can't go wrong with a B4, and when you want to go really quick you can upgrade to an X6

It's ok as I've seen it racing and it runs well. It's owed by a chap who knows how to set-up his cars and look after them. I found it last night on eBay

i shall keep tabs on it. maybe the photo just doesn't do it justice!

I think it's just the shell. Just an excuss to get a pro shell painted

I'm planning on getting the GT XKR paint job on my B4

Buck_Rodgers · #27 13-05-2009

pro shells cost loads. One colour for me with a few stickers.... Cheapskate i know. I guess pro shells last longer on buggies then they do with scales and definately mardaves!, that was getting expensive

No probs, I was in the same boat as you and couldnt choose either, but made a gamble on the B4 after seeing Neil Craggs worlds win online, it looked like it was on rails and that sold it. Plenty of second hand ones around and spares are readily availale almost anywhere in the world so thats another benefit.

Shells - you can buy ready painted ones from associated for £20 which is a bargain. Cheap and cheerful.

Yuasa, yup what fun that was getting the results with those cells.

Aaah but the reason Fabiix were no good was they were over charged before you bought them. If you buy from Yuasa they should be fine.

but still, no-one wanted them lol, i thought they were pretty good. altough at 14 anything was good!
