First 1/10th Buggy?
Hey guys, first post here,looking to get into the sport! Ive been doing some research over the last couple of days and have narrowed my preferences to:
Buggy
2wd
Brushless
1/10
I was considering getting a kit (the new team losi 22 looks sweet) but Icant justify spending that kind of money right now. I also originally was looking at traxxas models but I want to get into some racing so Im leaning towards the RTR Team Associated B4.1.
Its priced around $250 and seems to come with everything Ineed minus the charger and batteries. I want to get the best batteries and want to take advantage of the brushless motor so which lipo battery/charger setup should Iget? Am I going the right direction here as a beginner or would I be spending the same amount if I got the Factory version KIT with EVERYTHINGIneed?
Need some direction!
Thanks in advance

B4.1 brushless. It's a good solid car. Alternatively, save up a little more, and build either a Kyosho RB5, FT B4.1, or a T L R 22 and put some top tier stuff in it. You'll be way happier.

RE: First 1/10th Buggy?
Thanks for the reply. I checked the kits you recommended and although nice, I don't plan to spend that much time/money as a beginner. With that said, what is the best RTR brushless setup that you can recommend? And what battery charger is best?
