1/10 4wd buggie options ?
Me and my son been running 4wd sc for a yr and wile their decent to drive maintenance sucks trying to keep up with 2 full race trucks (losi scte, Durango v2) not to mention battery expense . ...
So looking to trade or sell my trucks and equipment and go with 1/10 buggys
Can I get come pros and cons from one biggie to the next ?
Battery layouts and options . Can any of them work good with single shorty pack and be comparative ?
And something that don't need $100+ in option parts to be competitive .
Springs I understand and tires but don't want to rebuild car and have 2 boxes full of stock parts that's not up to par like with the Durango sc truck ... thanks for the info as I get it

The only thing you need to upgrade on the B44.2 is rpm ball cups... that's it. Most are running green rear spring... $5. But that's a setup preference.
There are a couple other buggies out there too and they look like they also don't need any upgrades.
4x buggies are a lot of fun to drive, dirt F1 cars

most 4wd buggies take saddle packs.. but most 2wds take sticks short or long so your'e good there. The other reason to go 2wd is that 4wd is more expensive to run, more power more speed more money more maintenance more severe breakages and so on.
Also stick to a major brand so parts and support are everywhere. Can't go wrong with an Associated B4 , Losi 22 would be the two. Other brands are great for their own reasons.
You could also consider buying a used one to save a few bucks but be careful...
With all that said when you get ready for a 4wd buggy get the Xray XB4.

A few things to grab w/ it - exotek front bulkhead, chassis weight. If you wreck a lot may want to snag a tresrey RF (rear/front side) hinge pin holder. Other than that It's been awesome for me.

so your sponsored by Xray but are contemplating a b44.2?
granted I don't know the details of your deal, but it would seem to me this shouldn't even be a question for you
Only way I was ever able to run a different car than my sponsor was if my sponsor didn't have a car in that class.

Awesome car right out of the box. You don't need any thing else besides oils.

^thats what I wanted to know . I read over in the xb4 thread and they all talk of several upgrades. I don't want to spend 380 a kit and then spend another 200 to make them dependable.
I am thinking the xb4 just cause we r sponsored just want a unbias opinion about what's out there . Tks for the info
