Decisions Decisions.
Hi all. Coming back to RC at present. Been in and out of it for most my life - last time was in 07 when I had a Nitro Hyper ST and Savage. However bashing with yourself (no pun intended) isn't that much fun after a while, and having moved back to salford your Bury club is nice and close. I did make the trip last sunday but got caught out in the snow.
So, I currently have about £300 and have on ebay my Tamiya TL-01 4WD Skyline to put more funds on top towards a buggy. I looked at higher end ones like B44 and SX3 but they were proving too much to kit out. Having read the forums for a while and looksed at some discussions I see a few run RC10's etc. So I have thought about an RTR between the RC10B4.1 or the Losi 22 (the spektrum is tempting and justifying the extra £80 with that one). So does anyone have any opinions on the Losi 22? I know the B4.1 must be decent enough for the cash if several people use them but the Losi is quite new. Faling that, I have priced up and am the verge of a Schu Cougar S1 with a better motor and SC set up from LRP. It is all very affordable in my £400 budget. So - can I have your opinions please? Would you advice just getting a B4.1, vs a Losi 22? Or, should I go that little bit more and build my own cougar with better elecrronics and another spektrum unit? Thanks folks.

Welcome to the Bury Section!
My names Matt, I'm on the Bury committee. The B4 or RB5 are good to start i would say! The B4.1 RTR is not bad as a starting point. But you will upgrade the electrics. Soon after buying! Personally, and what i did. Was to buy 2nd hand from club members. that way you get the good stuff cheap I have an RB5 up for sale at the moment if that's any use? Also must of the guys have spare electrics knocking around too. I'm sure we can sort something.

Point being here you don't have to - in fact it might be better not to! This goes even further where the RTR Losi 22 is concerned - because it comes with a 13.5t motor as standard! And unlike my 10.5t's the Losi esc can't do timing boost, so its going to be slow. Good for newbies, but slow. Of course in theory that Losi esc can easily take a 7.5t later, but thats not really the point. Besides its a Losi esc so will likely explode first time out!

Good morning,
My names Phil, and I'm burys little whipping boy! I would highly suggest the Losi 22 RTR you get alot of kit for not much money! Plus you have new gear as well! Over time spend another £100 on spares and the odd electrics upgrade and you will be grinning from ear to ear! Id also look at a custom shell when the addiction starts! Don't get bogged down with all the talk keep it simple and buy new if you can you appreciate it more. I wouldn't rush out and buy until after Xmas as there isn't much racing at bury at the moment.
