RCmad79 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I race a B4 on saturday evenings with a 540 motor, then on sunday mornings when its early I go to the beach and enjoy a nice quiet time down there. My Girlfriend is wanting to get a buggy to go on the beach with me, not being totally into the hobby I am not wanting to spend too much on it. Any suggestions for a decent buggy that wont need too much doing to it to get it to run against my B4 on the beach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 You are going to be looking at Annsman, FTX or Maverick really. Depends whether you want 2WD or 4WD for her. Probbaly a good idea to look for a used car if she is not definitely going to use it for long. that way you can sell it on for less of a loss than you would if you bought new. This sort of thing crops up in the for-sale section quite regularly. Think there is a Madrat for sale currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCmad79 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 So far there hasnt been a problem with them, only ever run it on the dry hard sand not on anything wet or loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
