New Car Required !!

[Martinst]

Having advertised my Yokomo on this site and reading up on other cars etc, I think the bug from years past has returned.

So I'm after getting the modern day equivalent of the Yokomo 91. What is the class leading 4wd at the moment ? When I was leaving the sport the CAT 2000 and new comer Predator where starting to mix it with the Yokomo 93's !!

I've had may cars, RC10's, Traxxas, Schumacher Cougars and Cats, Kyosho II etc, and the only ones I really like were the Team Associated and the Dogfighter.

Having looked at some of the latest models on here, they really are a work of art and the carbon / alloy ones look almost too good to get dirty !!

Whats a good 4wd competitive offroad electric car to have ?

There are loads less of which is best and more of which you preffer.

Losi xx4 (my personal faviot)
AE b44
J concept bj4 we
Aero A1
Hot bodies D4


There the cars i think are going to be the best next season.

I would say to go for a car that is well supported, so I'd look at the Associated B44 and the D4 if you're going for a new kit.

Out of the two, my choice would be the D4, as (from what I've seen) I think it's better quality. The BJ4 is great also, and you should be able to pick up a good second hand one with the B44 coming out, as a lot of drivers will be switching to this.

To be honest, all cars have their pros and cons, but if you look at the newest designs about nowadays you'll be shocked how similar they all look... shaft drive, mid-motor, saddle cells at the back, etc...

there are lots of threads along these lines on here.

As said previously there really isn/t much in it between all the current crop of cars. It's mainly down to personal preference, which one looks nicer etc, also what is popular at your local club for help with set up and spares. Also what your local shop carries spares for.

If you are on a budget then either the B44 or ZX5 would be a good bet. The associated is going to be the most popular car next year, it's cheap and spares are common. The zx5 is also a good solid car with very cheap spares.

The yoke BX isn't great on UK tracks. The BJ4 is good but no different to the B44 and costs more. The XX is a good car but long in the tooth and spares are becomingly increasingly hard to get at times. The Pred is quirky and doesn't suit some people, yet others find it great.

A couple of others are in the pipeline such as the Aero and serpent which should both be very good, but possibly pricey. Also Schumacher are tipped to have a new car next year.

If i had to choose starting up again i would go with the B44. 1-2-3 at the worlds and it's going to be the most popular car, the cheapest kit, and the 2wd is also the current best car so you can share common spares with the 2wd.

these threads are really starting to annoy me. i dont mean to be harsh [and i aint just targeting you mate] but why don't people stop being so lazy and look through the website that is already out infront of them? it seems like a new thread like this comes up every 2 days or so and the same thing is said in each one.
the site and other threads are all there, easily available, most with great advise in, so use them! it's not exactly hard work, is it?

im sure im not the only one thinking this

rant over
