tt-01 mamba Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 for 4wd if your into the top end stuff go for the tamiya trf501x. but if you want something a bit cheaper go for the tamiya db-01 chassis. modelsport uk has them for about 130pounds. Both of these are belt driven kits. For two wheel drive go for the team associated rc10b4 or t4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpi_matrix_stock Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Oople.com has loads of great reviews on buggys, well worth a look if your thinking of buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline r34 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) The re-released tamiya hotshot? I heard they were good. Edited March 1, 2008 by skyline r34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The re-released tamiya hotshot? I heard they were good. Yes, maybe but would a 20 year old design be competitive? I doubt it would cut it against modern day buggies on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesChatz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Associated B44, hotbodies D4 and the Losi 4wd buggy (forgot the name) are all good ones to look at. Not cheap though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c.g.racer Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 iv just got a durga and built it had a quick few races last night it my local club and im very impressed with it i find it alot easier to drive than my b4 for the money great piece of kit yeah i think they look like qwaility cars but did it really go better than your b4, because i thought that the b4 and the xxx-cr where the best offroad electrics on the market not forgeting the new b44 ofcourse which looks like a top car on the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_n Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) hiya well if im being honest i was a couple of laps down but that was expected considerg it was the first time the car had been run first time id driven it and the motor was ****¹ed no bottom end punch at all apart from that i could beat the top driver from my local club round any corner although didnt dare give it any over the jumps lol didnt want to break it Edited March 1, 2008 by andy_n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losidan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 andy....are you using it totally standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_n Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) no it wasnt totally standard id put a cheapy old 17t motor in there which just didnt cut it and id put the smallest pinion on i had which wouldnt mesh up very nice so it was really tight, so ran really hot iv got it abit better this morning but i could do with a nice 27 turn or something pretty high turn really apart from the motor totally how the manual tells you to set it up all in all im chuffed what it was like for the cash Edited March 1, 2008 by andy_n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
