Whats a good all round 1/10 racing buggy?

[EpicLURcher]

Hi

Im looking to get back into buggies after running them a little last year

Thinking of doing 2 wd. Probably using an 8.5 turn?

Anyway, whats a good chasis for astro when its dry-damp-wet. Ive heard some people nave 3 buggies for each condition! Im looking for a good all rounder

Thanks.

Ps racing at surrey and hants rcc

Maybe go down on a race day and see what is the most popular chassis and have a chat with some of the racers there.

 

But that aside there are some lovely kits out at the moment, the Schuey KF, Rango 210v2, B5M, RB6, Losi 22.2 

 

All of which Im sure you could get to work in all weathers!

The Schumacher KF is the hot car at Shrccc at the mo

I'm really tempted to try a 3Racing Cactus myself.

The KF is great is the grip is high, but not so hot when it rains so its not an all rounder. 

 

Best all-rounder has to be the RB6, but then its also rather pricy too. Still cheaper than a KF and and SV2 for when it rains though!

The KF won the winter series at SHRCCC, so can't be all bad in the wet, but the Astro has a super short pile and there is still a lot of grip in the wet/slick. As mentioned before pop along and have a chat with a few of regulars.

b5m is great bit of kit and very well made with alloy chassis n big bore shocks etc

[EpicLURcher]

Just ordered a losi 22, hooing to run at shrcc next thursday. Just got to get some electrics for it!

[The Dark Knight]

Nice one, will you be taking it up for the MMGP? I've got a Schumacher KF on the way

[Alex97]

I was going to say b5m as its meant to be the best 2wd out that them moment.

[MMC3]

you got a lurcher 

[EpicLURcher]

Me? Yep

Thedarkknight

Hopefully, will have to see if i can fit it in!

Alex

Had looked at one, i bought 2 losi rollers as a job lot for alot less than a brand new b5m!

[The Dark Knight]

Hope you can fit it in 

 

What electrics have you gone/going for?

[EpicLURcher]

Have a speed passion 8.5 from my wet mod car, hoepfully going to get a fleta pro and muchmore shorty lipos, and i have a savox sc1251

Quick question, do you think ill need a servo saver?

[The Dark Knight]

Cool, I'm just going 13.5 blinky to start with which I've been told is fine.

 

Some people like servo savers, some don't. I run a servo saver in all my cars, so it'd be a yes vote from me  I've bought the Schumacher impact servo saver for my buggy, part number #U4328

[EpicLURcher]

Do you know if that saver will fit the losi? I tried an xray one and it is too big, it scrapes on the chassis. Any other ideas?

Also gearing wise, im running an 8.5, any ideas what kind of gearing ill need for surrey?

[The Dark Knight]

Not sure if it will fit the losi, I'll measure it so you can compare it to the xray one.

 

If you look on MB Models, part number KP114 should fit or if you'd prefer a black one, part number U3940.

 

Not sure about gearing for offroad myself yet but I'll be starting with 83t spur & 24t pinion which will give me a fdr of 8.90
