Default 1/10th scale 2wd dirt oval....

Recently...I was bit by the dirt oval bug. I race 10th scale 2wd stock buggy. At my local track, this class is basically dominated by B4's. I want to be different!! Has anyone ran other brands with success? I like the new Academy cars......anyone have any info? What do you fellow racers think is best?? Thank you for your experiences, and opinions!! ........Shockman
