I've raced the PR cars for about 10 years. They are extremely durable. Although you'll have to come up with setups on your own. Parts are easy to get through PR Racing USA
Some of the cars mentioned as not exactly ground breaking are the ones who did the groundbreaking roughly 10years ago. Yokomo introduced the laydown transmission with the original YZ-2 (4 gear for some reason), the PR and sworkz of that time were among the first 2wd with a 3 gear laydown transmission. For reference, AEs most recent car at that time was the B5M. For the B10R and PR in general we started to collect some setup sheets on the german facebook group, but clay tracks as shown in this video simply don´t exist over here. The few dirt tracks over here are oldschool low grip loose dirt where rear motor rules supreme. Despite looking quite different on first glance the B10R is actually quite close to the S1V4, so setups from the V4 should be a good starting point for the B10R
The steering geometry is quite a bit different on the b10r. I'm still working on getting my b10r really dialed in, but its definitely different than my v4r
Tekno should make a 1/10 2wd buggy…TLR needs to remember its roots and Yokomo and Schumacher should both come out with 1/8 buggy’s just to see what happens…😜
The sworkz car is absolutely fantastic and best bang for the buck. It works on low grip to high , carpet to dirt to clay. Most all parts come in the box . Parts are the strongest I have seen of any kit. And the shocks are the absolutel best on the market period. It's sad that the RUclips world flat out ignores this manufacturer and any media covering rc also ignores this company. I would say give sworkz a try the company and products are among the best in the world of rc
I've seen and driven a Sworks couple of years ago, and it is definitely a very solid car as good as AE and Schumacher equivalent, worthy of consideration if parts support is available.
We have had a few Sworkz cars come to our track which is outdoor high grip, unfortunately the cars were very brittle, has there been an update to the 2wd in the last 3 years? Maybe the latest 2024 model is more durable than the older kits that were extremely brittle at our track.
There's some PR stuff gaining a bit of a following here in the PNW and I'm looking forward to trying some soon, starting most likely with the RM 2wd Buggy for dirt outdoor. Love that car as a way to have a cheap 2wd kit but high quality. It should be especially well suited for that type of conditions too, and it just looks cool. Cheers.
hah...local tracks know me as the guy that refuses to drive the cookie cutter chassis...currently race a serpent srx2 gen 3, and very VERY patiently awaiting the Agama N110 🙂 I really love the serpent, it took some time to get it dialed in, but the same could be said for any car. Once I did though, I am consistently giving B7s a hard time in my class. The biggest downsides driving cars that are a little less well known, is that your hobby shop is not going to have parts for them, so buy a handful of spare parts you think may break. All the veteran racers wont be able to give much setup advice since they are all driving B7s or another big name brand. There are setup sheets for the serpents online, and that went a long way in helping me get sorted.
@@jwfabworks3141 thanks for pointing that out, I typed this out on mobile so auto correct probably changed it, I would choose yokomo over any other brand, that’s what I ment to say.
I've got a Serpent SRX2 Gen3 and drive it on my private track. Believe me or not this car is on my opinion more efficient than my Yokomo or my Asso B6.3. The only fastest buggy on my track is the Schumacher Cougar LD2. I tested all of them with same tires, same motor and esc, and off course same pilot ...
I drive a PR S1V4 and love it. I just started racing 2wd buggy earlier this fall and got it because it was less expensive than the others out there. I got 2P today with it behind a B7 only because lapped traffic tagged me from behind while airborne and the B7 also got tangled up in the subsequent pile up and got marshaled first. All on the last lap.
Seems like these brands/models are alternatives for 2 reasons. They're as rare as hens' teeth, and if you can find them and get a hold of them plus the parts needed for your tracks, you're looking at spending much more money than for similar Associated and Schumacher whips. Maybe not the Yokomo, as you can get that stuff pretty easily via AE.
No matter what brand it all comes to down to support and parts. End of story. Having a ball differential is not needed if the setup is right. People need to stop feeding into this. Take the time to set up the car.

Team PR Racing USA is sharing all their setup sheets!
Can't wait for the 4wd version of this. The smaller brands are solid, they just need someone to put some spotlight on them!
Kyosho: too busy releasing re-releases to release an RB8... I wonder if we'll see any 2025 releases before the worlds.
I pre-ordered the agama as soon as it was announced. I can't wait to get it.
so glad i stayed until the very very end. lmao!
11:04 lol

@tylerfleming7330
At least for me a S1V4 EOS setup was a good starting point for the carpet tracks in my area.

The Serpents are really good!
Pr racing b10r is fire. I love mine so far. Coming from a xray xb2 to the b10r was a big improvement for me
SERPENT is more than excellent 🔥

@sc10rs I have had multiple 2 an 4 wheelers from sworks. Never had any breakage issues
I have wheeler and 2nd in the box that I will build the next few days. My home track is high grip clay. Anything I need to know?
@marcowerner8739 run your shock package as you would any previous kit you ran and liked. The kits build like a carpet car package
What a great video!! Subbed and I'm looking hard at that B10R
I love my br10r and v4tr. The br10r is so easy to drive fast
@livingthemudlife Thankyou. It's self-serving to ask, but I have my own track.
It's on my channel. Is it too much car for such a small backyard track?

How dare you say the Yokomo SO isn't a ground-baking design! 😆In all seriousness though the shocks are amazing, smoothest kit shocks out there.
And consider that a gear diff works great on high bite clay tracks. A couple of pros have switched.
Where can you even race a 10th scale 2wd buggy near Atlanta?

I own two Yokomo super offroads, set them up using my own setup and would choose them over any other brand.
You would choose yokomo over the other brands or you wouldn’t choose yokomo over the other brands?

Lets not forget when Drake singed with PR Racing, made 2 videos and ran off with their $$$.

decisions, decisions 😊
HB D2 evo ?
8:39 shart lmao
I was checking out the PR site.....idk man...got the wheels in my head turning
If Serpent made a 4wd 1/10th scale buggy, I would buy it
They do. SRX-4 Gen3. Very cool buggy with a very different design from the norm.
@briana2137 Thank you, I didn't know that
Mugen Seiki MSB1?
Part one
@ Can’t wait for LC Racing to launch their 2WD buggy.
This guy just doesn’t like Losi, it’s obvious
Lol
