Default Schumacher MI4 CX vs Serpent 411 Eryx

Hi there,

I've been racing off road 1/10 and a little 1/8 for the last 12 months and I'm just starting to do some on road as well.

I recently picked up a Schumacher Mi4 CX that I've been running with an old LRP Spere TC spec with a hobbyking 13.5t motor. I've got a Tekin RS and an Orca 13.5 sorted, which I was planning to put into it.

I've just been offered a second hand Serpent 411 Eryx as a bare roller + I'm estimating $100-$150 worth in spares @ new prices (I don't have any spares for the Mi4 CX) and I'm trying to work out whether or not it's worth my while, or if I should just buy some spares for the MI4 (or buy another roller as a parts pig).

Changover price is looking to be about $200AUD under the assumption I can get $150 for the Mi4.

Very much open to opinion with keeping in mind I am extremely new to on road, but am so far loving it and can see myself sticking with it alongside off road for the foreseeable future.

Thanks very much

Matt.
