Hello i have an old RC 10 B3 and i want to know what are the differences in the driving between the old and the new car

There were a couple of guys at my club running the B3 and they could easily keep up with the B4s, so not as large a difference as you would think.

Indoors the B3 is very competitive, however, I would say the B4 is lots more stable on bumpy/rutted tracks, after driving both.

The B4 is more of a 'clubmans car', and is generally the more stable of the two. If you went down the route of the B4, you could eventually move to the X-Factory X6 should you wish, which is becoming a very popular car ATM.

You might find getting hold of some B3 parts could be more difficult now.

Hope this helps a bit.

Our tracks here are slippery and dusty
I thought if is a big difference between these 2 cars in case to buy a B4 or if the difference in handling is small to buy a b44 to run also in 4wd class
What's your opinion?
How much better could be in lap times a b4 with a good (not top driver)?

Try and find a B44 2nd hand on here, they are going for about £130 at the moment which is a good price for a reliable car

I raced a B2 and loved it indoors, and still do but I am impressed with the B4 outdoors, its a bit more fiddly to get dialled, but when it is, it is in a class of its own and knocks the B3 with ease. Dont waste your time with the B3, get a B4 and see for yourself.
