If you HAD to choose a AWD mini chassis which would you choose.
Genetic, HPI Cup Racer? I will be running 3000 or 6000kv on 2s.
Apologies for straying from my pure Tamiya Roots.
If you're in California you should be able to get parts for the Genetics, Fujin or Atomic cars. Socal has a group that runs the Genetic. Look for ABC Hobby USA / PPabalan on this site. HKS Hobby has support for the Atomic and Fujin cars. The Active A210SS car is pretty much defunct unless you want the get an OFNA JL12e which is the same as the Active A210DS. The Cup Racer needs some work/aftermarket parts to be competitive and improve its durability and even then some parts are just....not good. POS? It runs, but not raceable out of the box.
Tony G just doesn't like HPI since he wanted to switch to the Switch but found out it was not switchable.
