sx3 has to be one of the best out there at the minuet, very strong fast and reliable, and the parts back up is second to none

The ansmann isn't any where near!
B44.1!
Nothing else I'd own at the moment for performance and reliability and ease of use and work on it etc

[Jamesk]

Id say Trf 511, handles a dream and good levels of grip.

jK

1/10th wise i'd back the Durango 410V3 good quality handles well as well, a lot are running the 511 though

[thaiboxer]

4wd either a 6.5 or 5.5 speed passion with a decent esc the 120 amp hobbywing are good quality at a resonable price, or look for INIX on the bay if on a tight budget to start with 60 pounds delivered, got one in my 2wd and no issues so far. Then theres the batteries there is a lot of choice out there and the most expensive is not always the best you want 4000 to 5000 mah and generally the higher the C rating the better most important a good quality servo!

[TARTMAN]

yeah thats the better choice, plenty of clubs and more popular from what i can tell(only been back 4 months after 22 years away myself).

I run an SX3 and a cougar.

Love schumacher and there back up is awsome.

durango is a great car to as is the B44 and the many others.

Go to your local track and see what you like the look of is best, thats what i did and went for the scumy clan..... Its what i was racing 22 yrs ago when i left the scene.

Welcome back to the better side, if not the dark side lol...........

Sorry Red but I have to disagree strongly. I had the worst reliability with both of my SX3's The 410V3 is fast out of the box and strong as hell also reliable. Gets my vote. If I wasn't running that I'd be Laser FS2 Sp

Just my 2p.

Tried a b44 , bmax and a durango , now im loving the Laser fs2 , excellent price as its just been reduced to 239 quid.

really do tell,

Manchester clubs - At the moment you've got Bury who are racing indoors in Oldham, and in summer race outdoors in Bury (duh!), Batley who run a big indoor series in Oldham over the winter (but are the wrong side of the moors the rest of the year) and Stockport who race lots of electric stuff (including buggys) in a broom cupboard in Cheadle.
With some more travelling Southport and Ribble Valley (Leyland) are also popular. Roundabout Toy's will no doubt be setting up somewhere again soon, but are currently 'between venues'.

Locally the B44.1 seems to be the most common, followed by Durangos at the moment. Not many SX3's so far.

Belts and lay shaft bearing mostly. And I found the front shock towers incredibly weak. I spend a lot of time on the tools with my cars and found that I just could not achieve a satisfactory reliability factor, so they had to go. Loving the V3 Durango and love the look of the New Lazer although they seem to be eating diffs at my local club.

As I said that was my experience with them I also know other people who do do very well with the SX3.

As they say opinions are like "A" holes every one has one and most of them stink.

It is also worth seeing what is popular with the guys at your local club as they will help with set up and spares if your lacking one evening.

Alot depends on how you build it, i would say you built it to quick or wrong.

Don't see how mate it's got awesome drive train may be they need some top quality balls in their diffs ??

I might change the bevel gears in my lazer once a season.

When I bought my b44.1 I built it and I couldn't get the spur gear to mesh !!! Due to it being egg shaped ae cars are cheap and nasty that's why I flogged it and back to the lazer for me!!

[thaiboxer]

seems very mixed opinion wise !! has the b44 been around a while and is something about to replace it this year ??

can some one tell me where anx when in oldham the bury club meet ?
