Modified is what most people will be running, modified just means NOT STOCK, so I would imagine that covers just about most people in the nationals LOL
In the states the STOCK classes are popular but here not so. I think there is a market for a stock class as a cheaper way to be competitive. The 2wd VS 4wd arguement has been done do death, go with "WHAT YOU WANT" try not to be led by the sheep to get something you dont want? 2wd call 4wd cheaters, 4wd call 2wd sore losers so it all balances out. It is argued that 2wd requires more skill, I cant comment on this as never driven a 2 wheel drive SC, I only have experience with 2wd buggy and I do not feel it requires more or less skill; you simply have to drive it differently as you have less braking ability, that said you cant just rock up and be mega fast (unless your a born superstar) out of the box in 4wd it still takes skill to learn how to go fast. Work on consistency and NOT crashing and the pace will follow. I find my 4wd easier to work on than my 2wd buggy, its just more simple with less gears to worry about if you have to remove the gearbox. Most 4wd dont have a gearbox like you find in 2wd, just 3 very simple Differentials connected in a line.

We run a beginners/Novice heat at A1 which currently has a health mix of Stadium trucks, Short Course and buggies running. But I guess it's a bit far from Halifax on a Tuesday evening?! |

sadly a tad far to get to when finishng work at t time. Think my chance to practice will consist of going up onto the local moor which has a mix of grass and hardtrack to drive on and spenborough aka barely buggy club is about 25mins drive away so I guess I could practice there when its not used for club racing?

All depends on what you put in it. A quality Power system could be near £300 or for budget stuff more like £150-180ish.
Add anything from £20-£90 for a servo up to the job then TX/RX unless you have one already, if not £150 will get you a good radio, £30 gets you a crap one. Just remember if you buy cheap you buy twice Ah then you would need a body and wheels n tyres. So £30ish for shell plus paint £30. Wheels are about £12-£20 per set of 4 depending on brand etc, tyres also anything from £20 - £30 per set of 4 and you will also need inserts at £9 - £14 per set of 4. Going middle of the road prices roughly £440 on top of the cost of the kit so £770 in all. Then just get spares as you go, or buy everything all in one hit http://teamkirk.co.uk LOL as my slash has a ton of spares and upgrades

ok cheers it would be on my list to consider for sure once I sort my other cars first.
Enjoyed the youtube vid too which I watched earlier today, love watching buggy's but also loving watching the UK sct scene when I come across the vids on youtube. Really looking forward to this Sunday as I am driving Down to watch the days racing in Grantham at the nationals. Will be great to watch the racing but also be good to see the cars up close too if I'm allowed to have a quick look round at them QUOTE=Justingt5;876766]All depends on what you put in it.

Team C Vehicles
I run the TM2sc in 2wd class.
Chose this due to the 2wd buggy performance, that I have used at regional and national level with great success. I ran the DESC410r in 2012 and 13 and switched to team C TS4te for 2014 as parts and wheels etc are interchangable. Taken a few rounds to find the sweet spot of the chassis but am somewhere near with a few mods of my own. Simple rules to follow; 4wd class run 8th electrics 2wd class run 10th electrics comes down to budget really, or if you are switching from 10th buggy. |

I think its a midweek eve and I don't usually finish work until t time so to get there from Halifax would be no go lol
just looking round at local ish tracks to me - batley buggy club would be a good club to join as its accessible for me. Not checked how farc the York club if from me in Blyth I think it is but could be another possibility too |
