Default Dilemma......

Hmmmm.....I have a bit of a dilemma and wonder what you guys think?.
Im just about to hit the pre order button for the rere Cat and I open the latest issue of rcc Racer mag and on the inside cover is the rere Bigwig!....bugger!.
Now what do I do....as a kid my best mate had a wiggy and I hated it because it looked odd!.....but now I lust after it but wont pay the over inflated prices for a rotter on evilbay.
I never really wanted a Cat bitd but do now, but have really wanted the wiggy for several years and hoped it would get the rere treatment....which it has but that Cat is pure filth.....oh what to do?.
Come on folks what you reckon?....

for me it has to be the cat, far better engineering and has a world championship to its name. But that's just me never really been a fan of tamiya as most of the tamiya I owned seemed a bit to underwhelming.

I agree with both of you, I know its gonna be rubbish and I am a Schumie man really but it looks great ( in my opinion) and it probably wont get run and neither would the Cat to be fair....

Bigwig looks great but drives awful, the cat is awesome so get that & if you need a tamiya fix save up for the top force that has been re released for a second time along with the boomerang & the fox
