Durango not the easiest to find parys for now once very popular now poorly supported
B4 older rear motor style excellent car but a bit dated in the new mid motor era Xray xb2 if Its the 4wd less front shafts good but not that popular Sv2 good all-round car but as as I have offered you my two for sale I can't comment unbiasedly My choice yz2 or b5m Mainly go to your local track see what is popular get advice from them Regards dave |

As above..! Definitely YZ2 or B5m.....B5m is best option..good car, lots for sale at moment because of new B6...reason it is half the price of the YZ2...

I'd also suggest looking at a KF2 - so many available cheaply now on here and eBay, I picked up a great KF2 for just under £110 in the last few weeks (no electrics though).
There may be a newer version on it's way which is making them cheaper but still a very capable car, I also run a YZ2 and would second the comments above - also a great car, hope that doesn't add to the confusion!!! |

For around £100 secondhand.
B5M better in low grip KF2 better in high grip |

You've not mentioned a yoke bmax2. Still a great buggy and can be picked up for <£100

B5m
Go for the B5m its a good neutral buggy and goes well.
Yoko is great as well but more expensive. KF2 is good but more delicate and imho harder to drive than the b5m or yoko. The new B6 is the nuts - and a brand new one is £239 and fast out the box no mods needed. Bangs for your bucks gotta be the B5m

the yoke will save you money in the long run the quality and durability is fantastic
and just shim the transmission up a mm and run the shocks on the rear for low grip

Can't disagree with any previous comments
1 how good do you think you are/want to be all above choices are sensible and all will perform adequately if you think your world champion material buy the latest trendsetter b6m because you will always think what if,? 2 as I mentioned before check out where you will race most often and see what is most popular the locals aren't usually wrong Regards dave |
