Alex97 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'd stay clear of the sidewinder I had one and it was horrible to work on. I'd go with the first one. Have a look on oople as there are some great deals on used buggy's that are just better than the ones above. Most are sold as rollers so will need electrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearsdad71 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks Si and Alex again that looks a good bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 My 210 is a little bit different from the RTR because I've fitted literally every upgrade going but the core parts are still the same. In 2 years hard use I've broken 2 front wishbones, a front and rear tower and 1 front upright. Its a proper racing machine but its still tough.

bearsdad71 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I do like the fact its brushless and looks well built the fact its upgradeable is a bonus also and looks like you can build a real good machine based on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazlam Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'd go for 4wd with 2 speed. That way you'll have the best of both worlds easily make 4wd into 2wd Zero regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
