K2 or YZ4 or XB4 16

[david85williams]

So I'm currently running a KF2 and K1 Aero on Astro... I quite fancy replacing the K1 Aero with something new.

These 3 new cars all look great but what's going to be best? I know its very early days for these cars but I would like to see what peoples opinions are. Lets discuss......

I would stick with the same brand, Schumacher, some parts will be the same.

Also the K2 will be awesome!

Plus your supporting a British company!

You could go wild and buy all 3 and give us a back to back shoot out report. Personally I'd sit back for a bit and see which look to be going the best. So far I'd go for the YZ-4 because a lot of the YZ-2 parts are the same and it's ultra tough!

If you're already a Schumacher boy, I'd go for the K2, wheels and some spares might be the same, plus you'll already be used to working on one.

I've had a go of a friends 2016 XB4 & it's does drive really nice though

The YZ4 looks really nice & Yoks tend to be bloody good. Hard to argue against the level of the UK team either.

Hey david , i maybe a bit biased! , but id say xray , that's what im getting in a couple of weeks (after maritime ) , well 2 xrays accually !!

Altho that said , if your happy with your kf2 , maybe go for the k2, but xray for me!

And David believe me Shaun has tried them all!

Obviously I'm biased but have a look at Inside Line Racing's new PR Racing brand!

The PBSR401 4wd has an excellent spec and I can't wait to get mine!

As others have said on here though the other brands are great too - it's nice to have a choice.

Just built my YZ-4 and have to say the quality is awesome. Spares wise you would probably be best sticking to getting a K2 with you already running Schumacher. But if that doesn't bother go for the YZ-4 :-)

I've got the PRSB401 4WD and the PRS1 2WD and they are both utterly fantastic!

They are new to the UK market, but I've been running them for over a year. Easily the toughest, hardest wearing and easy to drive cars I've ever owned.

And they're all over Facebook too! Go on, take the plunge!

All your going to get from a thread like this is everyone recommending the car they drive, especially if they are sponsored. Waste of time asking. Also 2 of the cars you have listed aren't out yet so how can anyone answer. It's all down to personal taste really. Just buy what you like the look of most. They are all going to be top cars in the right hands if set up correctly. I drive a Team C TM4 and would obviously recommend that if not I'd change it

You're absolutely right Chris! But David is looking for a discussion on what's available and the PR Cars definitely deserve to be considered. Good value and good quality.

Ultimately, David will weigh all this up and make his decision! One of the great pleasures in life...Shopping for a new buggy!

But it also helps if theyres simulair cars track side!
Not seen any of the regulars at TORCH ( David races there too) have run the PR cars yet!
But the majority of the cars there will be yz4's or xrays . And a few schumachers and tm4's.

Yup, new car on the market, so there are none around (well a few). So it takes somebody to have to be a bit adventurous to buy one. There will be plenty backup from Inside Line and the team, but I understand introducing a new car is a steep hill to climb.

How about don't buy a 4wd, as 4wd is rubbish.

Either stick with or buy a 2wd as they are far better and make you more attractive.

[Noob]

I'm going for a k2 after my b44.3, was that or a bmax4iii, this is just personal preference after having a couple of schumachers and fancy a change.
Got the b44.3 running great but need a new project, it's on here for sale right now to make space for a k2
