As a rule of thumb, all similar types of cars (ie, 1/10th Offroad) are basicallythe same…it’s the individual manufacturer and their idea of what is a gooddesign that sets the vehicles apart. For instance, Team Associated makes ashaft drive car, while Yokomo and Team Losi both make a belt drive. Each hasit’s pros and cons, its the design of the belt versus shaft systems, thesuspension geometries, and the general chassis layout that differs. The choiceis yours, but my suggestion is to do a little research before purchasing yourRC vehicle. Visit a local track and ask around. You might get 50 differentopinions from 50 different people, but you’ll gather some useful informationwhen you do step foot in the hobby store with a purchase in mind.
