Default Best Buggy?

Had enough of my Losi xxx now, and after a new one.

What buggys are strong?

Pref 2wd, but may consider 4wd. Needs to be pretty competative too

Give the RB5 a go. A lot of people have said it jumps, rides the bumps and grips as well if not a little better than the XXX and turns and changes direction as well if not a little better than the B4 ..... best of both worlds.

As far as I am concerned it is the best 2wd car I have ever driven since I started racing in the mid 1980s.....

The new Hot Bodies is to be unveiled in a couple of weeks - and should be released before the outdoor season gets into full swing. It's the 2WD that I'm waiting for to get back into it.

I need something strong though, had enough of only doing 1 or 2 rounds a night due to wishbones, hubs, etc breaking fairly easily

I had a T4 which was tough, can anyone tell me how the B4 compairs to it?

The B4 is just the same apart from being shorter, thinner and lower but all the hubs ect are the same, with the wishbones being shorter you would expect them to be stronger, but for me only running a B4 i cant comment on how much stronger, all i know is that a B4 still breaks but the trackside support seems to be better than the other 2 2wd's although parts arnt silly cheap (my TC that cost well over £100 more is over £1 cheaper for a pair of wishbones).

If i were you id try out all the cars, pick the one that suits your driving the best.
