Default what do you think about this 4wd?

im looking at getting a 4wd for maybe next year, nothing expensive just somthing could use at my local track for maybe a winter series.
http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.ph...=10792&lang=en
I was thinking of getting one, my price range is only about £150 so obviously nothing expensive, or can anyone point me to another car.
P.S. once again im sorry for my stupid behaviour.

banger boy,

Maybe the Yokomo B-max could be another option? Think it retails at £150. Or the Kyosho zx5rtr? Not sure on the price tag though.
Or you could search ebay and try to pick up a second hand B44?

Ben

ive been looking and thinking about the b44 but i think its a bit out of my price range, even at second hand.
The kyosho seems like a nice car though.

zx5 rtr is a good starter car for the money and can be upgraded as you go. the durga is also in your price range and no worse or better for the money but as lil ben says for 150 get yourself a yokomo b maxx (plastic b44), it has already been proven to be fully competetive even in standard form and will be used by the team at a national level next year so upgrades will be there if needed and setup help will be a lot easier to find for it.

also i think there is an equivalent car coming fom hot bodies as well at some point so might be worth a look

all this choice and i stil cant make up my mind properly, the b44 is very unlikely but theres a raging battle in my head between the b-max and the zx-5, bear in mind though im talking about getting one round x mas time so ill have to wait and see, but any opinions would be greatly appriciated.
