Please Help! I just back to this hobby after 13 years missing.

[FC5687]

Hello!
I was not in this hobby since 1989 and 1/10 off road buggy was my favourite at
that time.

These were the last buggies (both 2WD and 4WD) I owned during that moment.

- Team Associated RC-10 (original version with 6010 chassis)
- Kyosho Ultima (modified with carbon chassis and ball differential)
- RCL Incident 4WD
- Fully Modified Tamiya Boomerang (with Dirt Burner ball differential gears for
the front and rear gear boxes, universal drive axles)

I am looking for one 4WD and one 2WD off road buggies and I already decided to
buy the Team Associated RC10B4. Is the RC10 B4 be the best from the
manufacturer in regard 1/10 2WD off road buggy.

If I buy the RC10 B4, do I still need to buy the CVD from MIP and some premium
parts from Trinity?

Which 4WD off road buggy is the best one from Tamiya? My fully modified
Boomerang gave me lots of fun at that time. Does the Dirt Burner still exist?
Do they still making ball differential gears for Tamiya 1/10 off road buggy?

I visited Tamiya website, and they have two 4WD buggies. One is called Baja
Champ and the other is Blazing Star. Can anyone kindly list all specialty
manufacturers who make premium parts (eg. Chassis, ball differential gears and
universal drive axles, arms etc.) for Tamiya 1/10 off road buggy upgrade (or
modification)?

My friend owned a very special buggy from Tamiya 11 year ago, I guess it was
called Avante. It looks pretty cool. Very special and professional! Is Tamiya
still offer something similar to this one?

I also saw Team Losi have a car name XXX-4, it looks very similar to the Yokomo
YZ-870C (hope this is the correct model number after so many years) back to
1987. I also seen lots of manufacturer offered some parts for this buggy. Is it
any good?

Are Reedy and Trinity still consider as the best motor for 1/10 off road buggy?

Many thanks for the help!!
Best Regards,
Chan

Go for the new Losi XXX-4 in a 4WD skip buying a Tamiya for sure.

Think the Losi is the only way to go for a serious 4WD offroad buggy.

I dunno ... the new Yokes looked good at Southport National .. but Neil
Cragg would make a Tamiya look good .. ;) David Bailey got a good result
with his Yoke too .. ;)

However, the Yokomo MR-4BC SPECIAL KIT seems very interesting too. What is your
opinion?

Do you know any manufacturer making ball differential for the Tamiya off road
buggy as Dirt Burner did in the past?

My Top Force had Tamiya ball differentials as standard.
