Default KF2 or YZ2?

Currently got a K1 aero but I think 2wd would suit my driving style better.

So looking at a KF2 or YZ2? Which is best or are there other options I should consider?

Something slightly older that's just as good?

I've had both in the last year and out of the two I found my KF2 a lot easier to drive and more forgiving. I'm no front runner though!

If you're not planning on getting rid of your K1 then it would make sense to get the KF2 as some parts are interchangeable.

KF2, shares a few parts with the K1 if needed but see what others are running at your normal club for help with setup etc. tbh i think any newish car is quick in the right hands.

I replaced my KF with a YZ2 and couldn't get on with it.. back with a KF2 and much happier with it.

I'm another one who swapped their YZ-2 for an XB2. It works straight out of the box and I'd give it a big

I went from the KF2 to the XB2 and was more consistent, i swopped from the XB2 to the YZ2CA and I'm quicker and still consistent.

Hands down for me the YZ2CA has been the best car 2wd car I've had. i had the YZ2 and didn't like it, to be fair i didn't give it a lot of time, it may have been as good as the CA but i will never know

Another option is the PR Racing PRS1v3. It is cheaper than the other options, comes with laydown gearbox as standard, gear diff, can run shorty or saddles, very strong and easy to drive.
