Default new car for indoors

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOMY-GX-Bu...item4aaca79928 I was thinking of one of these for the indoor season!!! heres one on a track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU6hh...eature=related

you dont need any marshals as they have a lexan loop over the shell to roll em back over lol

Also theres special ramps you can get for them to have a look on youtube!!

I played with one of these last week. They are brilliant little cars and really rapid. They don't have proportional steering but the throttle is still proportional so you can still take different lines on corners.

2.4ghz radios as STD as well

Its 1/32 scale. Same as the Micro T. Do I need to start building up another brushless lipo Micro then (using the Bluegrass conversion it could even be a buggy!)

Check out the stunt skillz with the fx buggy

Yup micro T's have proportional steering. Unfortunately Mine just gave up one day. Never got on with Losi cars over the years and thie micro T was the final straw for me.

The gx buggy is as fast as a stock microT

The Micro T is a proper car, fully proportional, can be dismantled and rebuilt, spares and upgrades available etc. Its also quite a bit more expensive than the GX though.
Stock ones are about the same speed as the GX, but thats with a brushed motor and 4.8V NiMh. Mine was running 7.4V lipo, 10200KV brushless and all fully ballraced.
But I wouldn't buy another Micro T - I'd build one out of upgrade parts -Carbon chassis, oil filled alloy shocks etc
