Retroracer77 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Morning like many of us of a certain age , I am looking at getting back into 1/10th electric buggy racing . I have touched base with a local club and have been invited along when everything opens up again . I’ve been doing some reading trying to work would which mid range 1/10 scale 4WD vehicle would best suit someone looking at racing ( at a basic level ) my club contact as advised me that Yokomo are about to release a new 4WD buggy and then there is Xray or team Associated. Budget isn’t really an issue for the right car. I am very much open minded at this stage , so if any experienced racers could recommend a good middle of the pack 4wd buggy for club level newbie racing id be very grateful. many thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I race 2wd every week (pre Covid anyway!) and some weeks there are not enough 4wd to run their own heat. Also well worth getting whatever the majority run at the club. It helps with set up tips, and of course sharing spares! Just something worth checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroracer77 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi Mark Yes did check - 2wd is more popular , but they do have and run a 4wd class. once the lockdown is over and clubs are up and running again I will be heading down for a visit in the meantime are you able to suggest a couple of 4wd mid level racing kits that are worth looking at please ?

Surfer99 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Been thinking about this myself, I’ve been looking at the TLR 22x-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroracer77 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I’m so out of date with what would be competitive... I was half tempted to rock up with an old school Tamyia 😂 ive read Yokomo was about to release a new 4WD buggy - and I’ve read that you can’t go wrong with X-Ray also - so much choice..

Surfer99 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The Schumacher CAT L1 EVO looks like another good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
