XB4 looks a good car from what I've seen, but what about Kyosho? very pleased with mine, and I thought parts were costly...until I saw the price of xray parts

K1 probably a good car, but I don't like Schumacher

I personaly had all the schumachers sx sx2 sx3 and loved em and then had the k1 when it first came out and hated it .

bought a cheap 2nd hand durango just for a spare car and done an extra lap , on the first race that i entered , so i then decided to sell the k1 ( 2weeks after they came out ) and bought a 2010 spec durango 410 and loved it ..

and have recently just sold it , and have gone the xray route ( thats what 75% of the cars are at the track ) and am slowly improving even more ..

The xrays a cracking car , is tough as old boots , and goes where you want it too and everything that is needed is in the box

Question

Im thinking along the same lines with these 3 buggies..........before i jump ship from my SX3 am gonna spend a bit time with it and give it a chance as im not really getting a feel for it.

Ive also got a B44 with a load of spares which will be cheaper if i move to the newer B44.2 as i still really like it and takes very little to setup.

Most people at our club now have the K1 which does look good and seems to go well, round our indoor track which will help more with spares, setups and tips.


As for the XB4, i drove my mates car on sunday and got used to it straight away and could push it hard if i had more time with it and i know how strong it is as ive seen it in a few hard crashes and still survive.

Hmmm choices, choices

Dex, go with the majority....easier for spares, setups etc....the K1 outdoors was easily the best 4wd I have owned(had a few) and that was its 1st time out!

Get the K1....I'm sure the Green is selling his...grab a bargain!!!

Will have to see, Afrop's XB4 was great on sunday, bit too much understeer but nothing to bad.......will have to have a go at corky's B44.2 as he also runs wheel TX.

Dunno who runs a K1 with wheel TX ?

Not too sure chris, might be the FAB.......also noticed 1 of the new front tires was completely bald after 4-5 rounds where as the other still looks pretty new
