EP Buggy 的選擇

For Team Losi, depends on the track condition but in most cases, the XX-4WE is a much better choice then the XXX-4, it just handle rough better then the XXX-4.
Regarding the ZX-5, with the batteries on one side of the car, the balance of the chassis are not ideal, all the later generation EP buggy are using saddle pack for this particular reason. However, the Kyosho are a very good beginner "competition level" 4WD buggy.
HPI D4 is a nearly identical copy of the Jconcept BJ4, which is the current world champion.
Just my 2 cents, if you like American style (Graphite Tub Chassis), go for the Losi XX-4WE. If you prefer the Japanese product, then the D4 and 501X are all good to try.
One last word, had been waiting for the EP buggy to come back into fashion for a long long time, now that you guys have a indoor track, go and enjoy it! 100% guarantee more fun then touring cars..

For brushless motor, if you are playing 4WD, the best will be a 5.5 motor. And for 2WD, 7.5 turn will be the best. This is exactly what I am ausing to race in Thailand and it prove to be not just fast enough but also punchy enough. With an off the shelf pack of IB4200, I can have 10+ minutes run time on those combo.

Alot of you may not realize, for EP buggy you really don't have to spend alot in batteries, matching pack will be over kill in my opinion, just remeber one thing, there are only so much so you can go with your tyres up to a point that the traction give up. Off road are not like on road that it was always grippy and you need good batteries and super fast motor to win. Buggy are alot cheaper to race, the tyre normally last along time and if you are getting in EP buggy now, go and get yourself a set of brushless system, that will be money well spend..

Please be excuse if my english are not that good, don't mean to offend anyone, just offer some opinion..

Australia to be exact..

no la. you study in foreign country? Britain or USA?

Well Jerry, I guess your comment just sounds abit... I thought you are teasing my english too. Anyway, no hard feelings.

It's all good, brother!
I am a buggy lover (Both EP and GP), I will love to see more people joining the scene!

Now all you need is to build it up and goto the track and race...

3.5R will be way too fast, even 4.5 is too much some time.. Save bet, you can get a 5.5, more then enough..
