Also I hear that losi parts are harder to get for some reason? and that AE plastic is soft and breaks easily,just a couple things i have heard,can i just get a few opinions on the cars and if anyone has had experience that will help me make a decision,i dont really care which one is "better" im just kind of looking for the one that will give me the least amount of issues in the long run thanks !!
Either one you end up with, I suggest getting a gear diff to start. Ball diffs do work well, but for starters it can be a pain to properly setup a ball diff. Gear diffs just need assembly and fluid.
