I'm also working on getting a 1/10th scale 4wd buggy. I'm definatly leaning more twards a kyosho zx5, academy sb v2, or a tamiya df-03... reason being these cars all use a shaft drive and will fit a standard 6 cell pack (I'm using lipo's and there are way more options for a standard pack vs. a saddle pack). I tried to pick up a Dark impact used (df-03) but it didn't work out...

Now I'm going after the Academy sb v2, parts are hard to find but they would have been for the df-03 as well.

I would be up for the zx5, but I'm not convinced it's worth more than the sb v2 for the price. The basic zx5 is more expensive than the sb v2 pro carbon fiber with all the goodies.

Anyone know of any other 4wd buggies that are shaft drive, and will use a 6 cell stick pack.

p.s. the df-03 has an extended chassis option for 7 cell packs that would fit some of the better 4s lipo's out there.
