Default 4wd buggies conversion to stick packs..

Here again asking another question haha. I was just wondering if anyone is running 4wd buggies that are stick lipos instead of lipo. What car is the best to convert? What's the easiest one to convert? Which do you prefer if youve driven both. this is just a dream for me haha. My b4 is the money pit for now but this 4wd could be a Future possibility.

Thanks,
Brian

Caster Racing's SK-10 or S10-B, they have a stick pack Carbon Fiber conversion kit. Great handling buggy, love mine.

You can get the Kyosho Lazer ZX5 SP (not the FS or FS2)..it uses a stick pack. All the others (AE, HB, Losi, Kyosho, Tamiya) use saddle packs because its better balanced for handling. And there is no room to convert a saddle pack car to stick pack configuration.

And you can convert the SP to an FS if you ever decide to go with a saddle pack car .

And there's also Tamiya's DB01R, it's a stick pack chassis & handles great(I LOVE mine), & it also shares a number of parts with both the TA05 touring car & the TRF501X. Great little buggy....
