RCbutcher Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The durangos sound about the best. What about the losi or Schumacher 1/10 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 2 or 4wd? Every one will give you a different answer e.g. the car that they use. I use the b5m as its built like a tank and it really suites my driving style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flux Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well I'm not to sure iv heard that 2wd is better for starting out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 What type of track you racing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 2wd is far more popular at most clubs. 4wd is easier to drive when starting out, but with less people you might find no matter how much you improve you still come last! However the first and golden rule is check out the club first. There are several reasons for this: 1) What classes do they run? Most clubs run separate 2wd and 4wd classes, with 2wd's more popular. But some, mostly smaller clubs, run all buggys together. In that case 4wd's tend to dominate. 2) What is popular? The B5m Alex runs is a very popular car at many clubs, but curiously not mine. At my club the TM2 is the most common car and there are few B5m's at all. You should get what is popular as it helps with setups, spares etc. 3) What is for sale? Some club racers change cars every 20 mins it seems, which means there are always deals on barely used cars trackside. Whats more, and unusually for 2nd hand, you can be assured its not a rip off because the seller knows they'll be seeing you week in week out.

flux Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) So i spoke to someone at my local club on the Facebook page and they recommended the team Durango dex210 rtr, but I wanted to know what else I need like a charger, battery's and tyers etc . Any recommendations? Edited April 1, 2015 by flux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The best tire changes from track to track. Battery's I'd get shorties as they seem to be a lot more popular. Charger I use a core rc one ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim46 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi, i race at my local club, olny been into it since jan, i went with the durango dex 210 rtr, its an indoor carpet track, it seems to suit the durango, they are very good cars and very strong, handles like its on rails, the stock rtr motor is a speed passion 13.5t, its very smooth and will get you into it to begin with, a standard 2s lipo will do, and a decent charger, i use mb models in leeds for durango, very good support there for durango and great customer service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) MB Models do seem to have most Durango stuff in stock. I've never found any of mine (210 and 410) out of action due to parts not being available. It was harder to source all the Tresrey stuff on my 210 as not all of that MB stocked but they have all the bit you need. However what I will say is that on our astroturf track my 210 is nowhere near as good as my Cobra 4210 (a hybrid based on a 410 rear end and 210 front end) so whilst the 210 remains a good car, and the RTR a bargain, there are other platforms that work better in some circumstances.
