Hobbyplex stocks all the B6/B6D parts so if it's me the Associated is the no brainer.

When my Durango breaks something they give me a bin of un-organized parts to look through and I don't think they have any Yokomo parts. But the TLR/Associated stuff is always stocked there.

The HobbyPlex has plenty of parts support for all the cars you mentioned in your original post.

My unbiased opinion is to stick with TLR or Associated.

You have a great local AE team driver named Will Brinton that can help with the Associated side and myself, Alex Sturgeon that knows the 22 3.0 inside and out.

We have both cars in stock as well as any hop ups or necessary aftermarket parts and pieces.

We race buggies every Tuesday at 7pm and Saturdays at 2:30pm.

There are a few guys running Yokomo so we have the basic parts in stock.

I just recently chose to get the B6 over all the others because:
1. It is an associated so parts are the most plentiful
2. It has the cheapest upgrade route if you want to go 4 gear or 3 gear laydown.
3. The team is very willing to help support the buggy owners.

I bought the b6 because I am running carpet but would of went the b6d (cheaper to upgrade) route if conditions were different.

I'm surprised by how similar the 3.0 and B6D appear. I think the Associated would be less expensive to run and modify, but on any given Sunday...

That is true. I do prefer the D413 over the B44.3 or the Durango, the 22-4 2.0 looks like a great 4wd buggy.

If your planning on adding a wheeler then the losi is the natural choice right now. The 22-4 2.0
is prob the best out of the box, everyman, multi surface wheeler out right now. Easy to drive,
and easy to setup. And honestly the B44.3 is not as bad a car as people make it out to be,
long in the tooth yes but that car in its various forms has prob won more races on clay over
the last 5 years than any other wheeler.
