Default best cheap 1/10 2WD for astro?

looking for a good bang for the buck buggy that can be fast on astro tracks

I'm a smooth driver so I rarely break but it needs to be as strong as the others

any suggestion?

there are good chances it will be bought 2nd hand indeed

let's say around 100£ budget

is the centro better than a sv2?

centro 4.1 definitely good value but gearboxes are out of production from centro/cml now

have heard a few have had them fail i have bought a new spare 3d printed set for less than 15 pounds from an oopler on here who is making them (there is a thread somewhere) not needed to use them yet just woth bearing in mind

SV2 also good choice

TM2 becoming available at that price even cheaper tco2 team c cars

cheers dave

good to know, generally I rather buy a v2 buggy because it's rare that the very 1st version of a car is trouble free

Default Cars...

Not everyones cup of tea, but the TLR 22's do have alot of strength in them! A whole year and didnt even break it once. Or the SV2; very strong and nice to drive, also have 2 of them up for sale But very strong durable cars.

I had a SV2 a few months ago actually and sold it because I thought the local track (Merchtem in Belgium) would continue to allow 1/8 ebuggies to run.. but I just learned it won't be the case anymore this year

so basically I have 3 new 1/8 ebuggies but can't use them on this track and in the same time I don't have any "legal" rc to use there

so now I need to buy some rc again... maybe a SV2.. again

wondering if there is anything more suited for astro tracks for 100£

I have loads of Schumacher parts but not enough to make a car

the KF is more dedicated to astro and SV2 more versatile, is this right?

TM2 all day long Well priced and would be good value at double the price, very drivable straight out of the box , works on astro wet and dry and on carpet excellent all round car,and very robust

I agree the tm2 is a great car, I've had one for 8 months and not found any major problems.
