Damn you guys , Looks like I'm gonna have to wait and see what kind of support my LHS has for the Atomic-Carbon S4 conversion for the BJ4. I like that the BJ4 looks much more balanced then the ZX-5 . Thank you again guys.

We're not discussing touring cars, hahaha. Searching would at least give you a good idea on which 3 or so are the top cars. That information would allow you to take a look at your local track and see which is the best supported car.

I opted for the ZX-5 With silver carbon towers, titanium turnbuckles, Blue Aluminum Front Suspension Holder and the Hex screw kit. Thanks everyone.

I find http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/ to be cheaper

Orsm

yup I got it from http://www.amainhobbies.com which was slightly more expensive than rcmart.com but their website woudln't checkout so its their loss! Got all the essensial parts for it I think (Just got the ceramic ball diffs aswell as the other stuff) and hopefully I should be ok. Not sure what motor and esc to get but I was very interested in the mamba max brushless esc and a sintered brushless motor (Legal in April). Not sure what pinion gear to use tbh with the setup tho as I will be racing at Bury and Batleys bumpy UK tracks. :s

true dat. max amps makes 'em in saddle pack.

J C F D.....if you wanna see a pic of a bj4 worlds car here's a pic of my bj4we.......

jconcepts has customer service that is second to none.....really. they're great. ordering parts is super fast too...they ship very fast, and you won't find nicer people in industry.

btw, it comes with ae shocks in the kit, but i prefer losi shocks to the ae ones, so that's why they are on the car.

here's one with body on........

here's a pic of it on the track.......note that it's showing a zx-5 the way around the track.

Orsm

Yes I'll stick some pics of it on this thread when I get it built

Where you doing the BK paint scheme? Or did it just turn out like that?

I like the way the bj4 is laid out , and considering I wont really be "racing" with it , but more just "racing around a track with a bunch of buddies" I think the ZX-5 is my choice.

He is another dumb question sorry guys,
The ZX-5 uses the standard 1/10th scale wheels right
SO I dont have to make "special orders " through my LHS .

I have a subscription to XRC .
Thanx for the vid !!
