Default Changing to 511 from BJ4 WE

Hi guys

I'm currently using a BJ4 WE which to be honest is perfectly fine but im pining after a new toy The 511 is really growing on me and would like some opinions on how people have found changing over to this car, performance and reliability from B44, ZX5, SX etc .

Also when ordering from outside EU how much have people been stung by customs? I can get the kit from within EU for around £360 so depending on customs it may work out similar in price.

Really good car. Very durable. Extremely well balanced, especially in the air. Great corner speed and very easy to make it run well on all tracks. Only hopup you should invest in are the Diff covers from Alaste (Fredrik Emilsson) and ceramic diffballs. Had one and I regret selling it so I could buy a durango. Bad decision.

Buy from some HK based store like www.rc-mushroom.com or www.rcmodel.com.hk . Not often I get customs fee but when I do it it always a very low cost.

Buy it and be very happy. Wont find a nicer car to work with and drive.

I am going for the Cat but thats only because the cougar. Otherwise I would absolutely buy another 511. Like to run car of the same brand
