Default a tale of 2 B5M LOL

ok so I bought a complete buggy and loads of spares basically because it was cheaper than buying the spares I wanted.

it arrives and its a lite version, and way way nicer than my own buggy, dripping in alloy and brass parts

this is where I become confused

clutch and motor are reversed on each of them, Im guessing that 1 has a 3 gear and the other a 4 gear gearbox, because if I rotate the spur towards the front on each of them, the axles go opposite ways

also one has gear diff, other has ball diff

so then... what one do I need to keep and build up with electrics as my race buggy?

tracks raced at will be Mendip, grippy astro. Tiverton, Astro and Grass, also the indoor series at Cullompton, carpet

sorry for what may be dumb question, but Im well confused LOL

I am new but I dont want to be trying to run something thats deffo not suitable or maybe hindering my performance


what Im kind of hoping is that I can use the new one b5m lite, with straight front arms, what I think is 3 gear gearbox and geared diff on dry grippy days, then maybe build up my old car, gullwing front, ball diff as a wet car with some cheapy electrics
