When ive driven x6's they have been quick but i found them a little twitchy and unstable i simply go on what i have experianced comparing lap times and consistant lap times. There all awsome cars and i would happily run any of them at a national at the end of the day im biassed to the CR i like to be diffrent and i preffer the cr. At the end of the day its driver preffrence. Neil cragg, Pidge, Bradders, Yardy etc can all get a b4 round a track super quick. Ellis, Sleigh can do it with a x6. Tricky, Mcgee, Bloomers can get a cr round the track just as quick. Its driver prefrence instead of everyone saying this is quicker yours is rubbish etc etc etc on a forum you should go and try one see what you like.

As for b4 cr x6 argument. The way i see it is B4 quickest over a lap but not that easy to drive consistantly, X6 not quite over a single lap as a b4 but more consistant, Cr is about the same over one lap as a x6 but more consistant. I cant get my cr to crash no matter how hard i try.

Ash- really now, i know your trying to sell the losi brand but at least do it with out the bull crap- you know you just said a CR is the same over one lap as the X6-

Personal i think the cr is a total pile of bab, its ok outdoors but cos i race alot indoors i just couldnt get the thing to turn. Thats my personal opinion on it :thumbdown:

ashleyb4 24-03-2009 01:56 PM

Its my opinion knowone can prove that any car is quicker than any other car. Why dont we all just buy x6's how boring will this sport be.

daz 24-03-2009 01:58 PM

Thats the best thing you have said on this forum ash:thumbsup:

Southwell 24-03-2009 01:58 PM

Ok, i think we need to get back on toic and stop turning this into a manufacturer slagging match.

daz 24-03-2009 02:01 PM

OK boss, but the cr is still bab tho.

I dont want to argue, i dont like arguing i just want to enjoy my racing but when ever i post anything im always told im stupid or im having a laugh or someone takes the piss out of me because im not very good at english and cant spell very well. It makes me think why do i bother racing anymore.

daz 24-03-2009 07:43 PM

I think you need to realise that people find you a easy target to take the mick out off. What you need to do is rise above them and take whats given with a pinch of salt, NEVER take it to heart.
Its all about growing up dude and just enjoy what your doing:thumbsup:




P.S cr's are bab (only joking):p

So back on topic as we all want to help the guy asking the questions and not hear each and everyones life stories....

Ive driven all three and my conclusion;

B4.. very good car, but in my opinion, too predictable and very boring..
XXX-CR.. more fun to drive than a B4, seems much more like your actually doing something which you enjoy...
X-6.. Best of the three, drives like a 4WD, just keep pushing it and pushing it! For me, its the best of both, consistency of the B4 but it keeps you on edge like the XXX-CR...

I got bored of my X-6 over the winter so ive modded a B4, basically cut the side off the chassis and moved the battery positions to make it slimmer, i think its great to drive! So much so, im getting a chassis specially made for it so i can be "unique" (look up "my slim B4" in the I Made This subforum if you would like to have a nosey)

Sorry for the little essay on my own car!

Best thing to do, go to your track, see who races what, ask if you can try them etc, pick the one you want...

I think Ash made a good point when he said about the likes of Ellis being quick with his X-6 but then Craggy is quick with his B4 but then so is Tricky with his XXXCR...

Get whichever you like the most... if it doesnt work out, you could always sell it anyway:p

Hope ive sort of stayed on track and helped...

Buy an X1108!:wub

ive had b4 and xxxcr and have gone back to the xxxcr . my own opinion of the cars is yes the b4 may be faster but i felt it was harder to drive. where the xxxcr feels a more stable and forgiving car on jumps and rough parts of a track . as for the understeer part i dont think the xxxcr does understeer.

Tom3012 26-03-2009 05:41 PM

Have you got the brass bulkhead in your CR?

V-Rossi 26-03-2009 05:53 PM

I noticed that the X-6 is often a big improvement for low to medium skilled drivers, as it is stable and easy to drive. But atm quite a few drivers are returning to the B4 as well (e.g. flipside on this forum, Kampenhout GP 2008 winner) as they think it's faster.
The car you choose is just personal, whether it is a S2, X-6, B4, XXX-CR, RB5 or anything with 4 wheels, it has to suit your driving style. So go out and test some of the cars of fellow racers and decide :)

x6 vs losi
 
the x6 is a brill car as are all of x factorys but it realy does depend on u and if ur willing to spend that mutch money . but indoor set up right the losi wins hands down for me not only does it look better i think it drives better indoor but carnt say about outdoor
