Considering a return !
Hi all hope you’re well !
I’ve been away from the RC scene for about 4 1/2 years now , sold all my gear last summer as I’ve been focusing on drones and been busy with other things Also having no dedicated area to work on RC stuff ( as my wife hates it !) it’s been difficult to be involved I’ll be making a workroom in my garage soon so I’ll have a place to tinker ! Anyway I’m considering getting back into it for the spring and was looking for recommendations for new gear I’ll be racing 2wd 1/10th off road , on Astro , need stick Tx and I have a good budget , not saying money is no object but I can afford to buy decent stuff So in summary 2wd kit Stick transmitter Speedo Motor Servo Batteries Transponder Already have a charging set up as I kept that and my polybutler pit box Hauler bag Thanks in advance for your help G

Start up
Hi
I’ve recently done the same, packed in around 10 years ago and recently made a come back into 2wd off road. After looking into it and talking to several people I ended up buying a Kyosho RB6.6 (now I’ve upgraded to a 7) and kitted it out with all Orion gear. back in the day Orion were the electrics to have so figured they probably still are. Everything seems great, i don’t have any reliability issues (touch wood) and the help and support from the team guys is great!! As for Transmitter, I bought a KO Esprit 4. Again touch wood no issues and they great as they used to! Hope this helps a little! |

Thanks for the response , I’ll consider all options at this early stage , last Kyosho I owned was in 1985!

Buggy.. that is personal choice. I love the PR type R. Fully loaded out the box. And in my area very very popular.
Electrics i think the maclan are superb. If you use android phone then no need for program box or pc/laptop to flash them etc. Adjust everything your heart desires as well as data logging etc.

Thanks tonydevon I’ll take a look , I’ve already been advised on the Maclan stuff and it looks amazing , not running Android I’m afraid but with a programme card I doubt I’ll have any issues

I still run a B6, which is great. If I raced more often I'd definitely go for the B6.1.

Go to your local club and see what is favourite there..always a good way to get advice and support..
Cars, probably, the most popular are Yokomo Yz2 and Associated B6.1 , they are popular E cause they are good, and spares are readily available. Electrics are subjective....Reedy are excellent as are LRP.. , however, Orion, Maclan are also very popular.. Transmitters, as always, Futaba, KO Sanwa are all popular.. Good luck..and enjoy..
