associated rc10b4.2 or kyosho rb6
im in the market for a rtr buggy to run in a stock 2wd buggy class, I have my options narrowed to the kyosho rb6 (if the hobby shop has the parts available) or im really considering the rc10b4.2 2wd buggy.. I know those parts can be found in ALMOST all hobby shops.. so any suggestions from who has had them an who hasn't pros cons likes a dislike... also I have zero intentions to do the mid motor on the rb6

I'm not sure its a 17.5 unless that is what's considered a stock setup

You should go out to your local track and talk to the shop, talk to the racers...See what is popular and what is common. It would probably save you money in the long run to get a kit and some cheaper (but still good quality) electronics. Plus if you get a kit and build it you will better understand how to fix/tune it.

Man, if you are truly looking to get started at the club level, and if you have a $300 budget, try below:
I'd prefer the b4.2 factory team over the rb6 if you are staying rear motor - parts are so muck more obtainable at the store level.
Try this set-up - $300.
Grab a b4.2 factory roller off a user here - you can get one for about $120
From there, get below:
1.) Hobbywing Justock ESC - $41 (Do yourself a favor and get the LCD Program box for $20 as well).
2.) Turnigy Nano-Tech or Nano Tech Ultimate 4200/4600 shorty packs. The Nano Techs have a 4mm bullet connector, and the Ultimates have a 5mm, so whatever your preference is there. $37
3.) Trackstar 17.5T Motor - $38
4.) Trackstar 915 Servo ($37) or Turnigy 1258TG ($33)
5.) Get a new set of AKA Chainlinks in SS or Clay for $40 new
Total spending would be $300, and that is assuming you have a radio/receiver and charger already.
Again, just advice, but would get you a nice start, and you'll have better racing upgrades over an RTR.

Some tracks will let the RTR kits run in the Novice or Beginner class. The motors in RTR's are all across the board as far as speed but usually these guys have a hard time getting around the track so the "his car is faster than mine" isn't an issue. In the Stock class its all 17.5 motors, don't pay much attention to the kv ratings.

1. Flysky FS-GT3B - $39.00 (Great entry level radio that will get you going.)
2. Thunder AC6 Charger - $48.95
I will say that if you do plan on seriously racing, I would suggest spending good money on a good radio (4pls, MT4, DX4). They make ALL of the difference in the world. Night and day. But if you can't afford it, the Flyskys are real decent.
