Whats the best 2wd buggy to start with?
#16
I haven't heard anything out of the ordinary about them but no one runs them around me so take that with a grain of salt. What I have heard is NOTHING from them! I have left 4 or 5 messages and 4 or 5 emails to them and have no response. I have called numerous times during their business hours and it always goes to voicemail.
ANyone have any ideas how to get a hold of them??
I tried the # of their website.
Short of driving there- (its only 30 hour drive lol) I guess I will have to use another company. Any ideas would be appreciated

X Factory X 6 Squared. I've been running a B4.1 for 6 months but was faster first time out with the X. Most of the vulnerable parts are Associated so you don't have to worry about parts support (just carry a rear arm, hinge pin and bulkhead).
If that is out of the question, between the B4.1 and the Losi 22 I would go with the B4.1, unless by the time you make your decision Losi releases a shorter chassis for the 22 (that would pretty much render the mid-motor configuration useless).
EDIT: This views are based on running on a 140'x40' indoor clay track. Your results may vary depending on your track configuration.

These are all things that you can get at island raceway as well.
I personally, would strongly recommend the Orion r10 or the LRP SXX v2 exclusively. Those are your two best options at the moment.

90% of the guys at my local track run the TLR 22...with that being said there are a few guys running B4.1's and 1 guy that runs a TQ Racing buggy and they're all competitive.

Easier to drive for a beginner? I'd have to say a 22 buggy. Which one is faster? Neither. Both the Associated and Losi can run the same lap times and can win. Proven this year. Dustin Evans being the ROAR National Champion with a 22, though Ryan Cavalieri won the worlds with an Associated.

On a serious note. What's the best 2wd buggy for...? question is just like asking whats better Ford or Chevy or Dodge, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Android or IPhone, etc. It's all a matter of preference. Each are very capable rigs with their own little quirks. Most everyone here has their brand loyalty and will lead advise according to that. Best bet is to try both if there is somebody at the track that would be willing let you test drive. Then decide from there.

I would highly recommend the the ready to run brushless b4.1 to see if you like the class. Just get the right tires and you can see if you like 2wd buggy if you think you like it sell it and build a kit otherwise you will spend twice as much converting that rtr into a factory team or race kit.

Yea, some of the guys at my track aren't to fond of Viper products! Has anyone tried out the Team C tc02 evo yet? I've read some good things about them, I just didn't know if it was a weak car.
