In essence the 2b has a strong, safe tubular chassis like a roll cage, the S7 and S3 series are a monocoque steel plate design with no chassis to speak of

S7/S3 are monocoques and thus lighter and have potentially better front suspension than the 2B. The mono chassis is probably less stiff than a 2B. Sliding pillar 2B and Exmo monocoque both have poorer front suspension but it can also be made to work quite well.

 

If I couldn't have a zero I would go for another S3 anyday.

so plenty of differnt ones about. never heard of an exmo or anythiung til earlier today.

 

basically go for a nice one ,doesnt matter what model it is then ?????????

Suspension on a 2b is a big area to look at, there were several variants but what ever you buy at some stage you will want to convert to double wishbone front, therefore buy one now with double wishbone front.

On the S7/S3 look for the tie bar conversion, that is bars instead of the full Sierra anti roll bar.
