Which 1/10th Electric 4WD Buggy???
Hi Everyone
I'm new to the forum. I'm after a new electric 4WD 1/10th Electric Buggy but can't decide which one to buy. The choice so far is between several:- J Concepts BJ4 World Edition Kyosho Lazer ZX5 Losi XX4 WE Losi XXX4 G+ Team Associated B44 Yokomo BCX Factory Competition. I'm after a buggy thats got out and out speed, is robust and has parts which are readily available. I'm just getting back in to RC racing, so the car must be competitive, although at the moment its mainly for a bit of fun with a view to getting serious in the near future! Any advice on which electric motor to go for, anything up to £70/£80 or so. Any comments would be appreciated. I just don't know which one to go for!!!  Thanks AdznKi

Hi mate,
You'll never get a proper answer on this...all those cars you mentioned are winners in the right hands. I suppose what really counts is whether you can get spares easily. I run a XX4 converted into an X-Factory X-5 and I get most of my parts from the states as a result...but I tent to buy in bulk so I can afford to wait a while. Lovely over bumps and very very fast due to the low internal ratio. With Lazers you will be breaking pivot clamps all the time - this is a known weakness - but you need these weak spots or otherwise something more critical breaks. You could get aluminium ones though. Otherwise the Lazer is a great car too. Parts are really cheap for Kyosho's...but availaility??? Dunno. No doubt the B44 will be a winner when in circulation....and Associated are always well supported in the shops...but there will be millions of these everywhere and I'd prefer something a little less conventional. I mean, if you look at any club count how many B4's there are....it's just boring! The one thing I would steer clear of is the XXX-4....not as good over the bumps as a XX4, fut technically faster due to the belt arrangement. If you want to go the Losi route, do what I did and convert a XX-4 into an X-5. Anyway, anything you buy from your list will be good enough and competitive when tuned properly. That is the tricky part.

There is also the Tamiya TRF501X.
Bulletproof construction, and very fast (European Champion Car). Spares need to be ordered on ebay though, as not available at your LHS.
