I am seriously considering getting myself a 4wd electric buggy. I just cant make my mind up on the best to suit me, so I am after some advice really.... Which is the best package? xx4.. spares availability is great, but is it too long in the tooth now? xxx4 i have heard is weak and breaks easily, predator, still has drivetrain problems so I'm informed, zx5.... spares availability????... I have a B4, so I know some parts would interchange onto a bj4...... any advice on this matter is gratefully welcomed...

BJ4....
then if you want something a little bit extra special, go for an S4 conversion for the BJ4. AE parts cross-over from your B4 too |

tried them all, except s4 but i would still say xx4 all the way, yes its long in the tooth, but why change it if they are simply the fastest car on the track, after all you don't buy a car because it got parts that will swap with your 2wd, you buy what works on UK tracks surly

The XX4 is a great car and my X-5 is even better i would say but i am no pro all i know is its easy to drive and there are loads of second hand ones for sale cheap to strip down for spares

Not necessarily
![]() You have to take into account this weekend was the first time I've ever run a brushless system in any of my cars. I installed it on Saturday morning and had a couple of packs on the slippy oval before track building, then it was straight on for first practice in the morning. Tom was faster than me over the tabletop in front of the rostrum, and on the right hander over the mats in the middle, and both were Tom making the difference. On the tabletop I wasn't able to judge the braking for the corner after the downramp so just plopped onto the top, and on the mats in the middle Tom had a much better line than me. I would have been much faster around the rest of the track if I'd had my usual brushed setup in, which would have brought my outright pace upto Tom and Craig. |

Who's informed you of that? I think its one od the strongest if not the strongest drivetrains available now! Why else would TTech guarantee it?

If I were picking a 4wd to go along side my B4, the head would say BJ4 for the parts compatibility but the heart would say Predator. Might be worth holding on for a little while though to see what Hotbodies/HPI bring out. You also didn't mention the Yokomo or the Tamiya.
