Default I am certainly no hot shot but I would say...

I run the DEX210, but I have to say that the ones that look good tend to have the longer chassis (£35.00), the cab forward shell (£18.00), firmer rear springs (£4.00). So far as the diff is concerned if you want the ball diff to work carbon steel circlips (4.00) ceramic diff balls and thrust race (£20.00), or £25.00 for a gear diff).
So you actually have £270.00 to make this car go very well.

If you are going for a conversion kit, you really ought to start with a new car, because you will inevitably replace a load of parts on a second hand car.

In all honesty, unless you are racing at RHR dirt track, I wouldn't waste time on a dual mount car, go for the best mid mount car.

The best looking cars I have seen running 'from the box' so to speak is the Kyosho RB6 - in the long term not a false economy.

The Schumacher Cougar is well supported, and also looks very good 'out of the box'.

I've only seen one Yokomo Bmax 2 and that was pretty impressive as well.

Whatever you do, find out if parts are available trackside by whomever supports your local track.
