Well I would say go xmod or mini z but for the price I am not sure (as xmods aren't out here in canada).

The only reason O got the epoch was it was a good deal, but I am VERY glad I got it. I am looking for another one now :) to keep the races even.

Mini Z aint worth the money if you ask me unless you plan on doing some serious investing and racing then go for it or Rs4. If not get someone in the states to ship you an Xmod cause you can have fun with the upgrades and a fraction of the price and they hold there own on the track.

The epoch well I have been to lazy to find what box my Z is in to race them together but its damn fast and handles really nice, plus as a bonus I can move my area carpet and have super fun with it in the house :)

Yes but if your hobby shop (like mine) doesn't carry larger scale slot cars they wont carry the tires.

Yo voodoo...did you come across any local joint that sells epoch bodies? Looking to grab a replacement for mine. What are you running (Spec 1 or 2)?

Nope.....but you can snag them offline for 13 bucks a pop. I have a spec 1 so it didnt help me but there are several sources for Spec 2 bodies.
