Suggestions on a 4wd Buggy?

[B4_BBoy]

any clue on a good 4wd buggy kit? im lookin to build my first kit and i want another buggy to run with my b4. any help is appreciated

1. A BJ4 WE is the best money can buy, but it is pretty hard to get one and after that almost as hard to get parts.
2. A Lazer ZX-5 is IMO the best bang for the buck, and if you can drive it can hang with anything short of a Durango (The best money CAN'T buy)
3. I have heard good things of the MRC rigs, and i know a sponsored driver, but I haven't driven it yet.
4. According to everyone at the CRCRC, you should really stay away from the XXX-4, it isn't losi's best work.

the Dark Impact is also another to consider, its alot cheaper than the others but has endless upgrades avilable. I am building a club racer out of mine.

i would think if your lhs carries hpi, they can supply the hot bodies stuff(same company)

[B4_BBoy]

hmm so it wasn't such a mystery was it. lol. well i haven't seen any of my lhs carry hot bodies but they have all the hpi cars. go fugure. well im takin a rtip down there today to get a new motor for my b4. so i'lll take a look at what they carry parts wise. thanks for all your help to this point.

the regular xxx4 not the graphite, is alot stronger and most hobby shops carry losi stuff

MRC will be releasing the SB V2 Pro this month, and it looks to be a real winner. Check out some info on it here:

I had the ademy (first model) performed well after a few mods, I have the BJ4WE (worlds edition) and it is by far the better buggy. If you have a B4 you can use some parts. The only parts you are going to need to get replacements are made by Losi or AE. The custom made parts are in aluminum.

The Kyosho looks nice, Tamiya has a few good looking ones and the Hot Bodies looks nice also and the Yokomo should be very fast. Do your homework and you will see that the Yokomo, Tamiya, HotBodies take most of their design from the BJ4. Some even where tested with B4 arms (Tamiya and Yokomo).

thanks again. i couldn't find the regular xx4 i could only find the graphite+ but im trying a different hobby shop tomorrow. the bj4 is a little much and academy cars are well not available at any hobby shop i've seen so i'll just have to keep looking. thanks again

XX4 for bumpy tracks XXX4 for smooth tracks.
