Yokomo MR4 BC 2 Special
My first post here, I love the site! Great reviews and information.
I do need an opinion from you experienced 4WD racers. Is it worth racing my BC Special or getting a new buggy? The 4WD scene with 19t motor is picking up at my local track here in America and this is what I have to go up against the Losi's. My main problem is I have no spares for the car and it is box stock. I would assume for the typical US supercross style tracks I would need the slipper, correct? So factoring in the usual spares and slipper, I am up around the cost of the Kyosho Lazer ZX-5. So I am wrestling with the choice of new car or buy spares. What is the more intelligent choice? I have never raced the BC Special so I have no clue how durable it is under race conditions. I have only run on tracks by myself at a leisurely pace. I'd hate to race it and be fixing it after every race. I have been down that road before...lol! Thanks for any insight that you guys can provide.

buy a new car, get something up-to-date or go and pick up a XX-4 on eBay.

The BC special is fun to drive, I really liked mine, but its also a handful, and bit manic!. spares are expensive.
The ZX5 does need a couple of things, the front tower mount isnt strong enough, not sure if there is a new updated version or not yet, but you can get alloy ones, needs an alloy front brace also really.. so, adds up the cost a bit. The XX4 is pretty good, spares are a bit expensive also.. I broke 2 belts in mine before I set the slipper up properly, its been ok for a couple of races now.. but working on it to replace a belt, or indeed do anything is chore.

If I look for a new buggy, which is the most durable? I know in this segment, durable is relative, lol! I may be able to trade my 1/8 scale buggy for a BJ4x4 WE. I notice their is no review of it on the main page. Is it good, bad or currently being reviewed and I should be patient?

I totally understand. I really like his reviews and wanted to make sure I wait so I am as informed as possible. My wife bought the BC special as a Christmas gift a few years back so I had no choice. This time I want to get the best I can afford.
