Of all of these I've found the 501x to be the easiest to drive which is the reason why I bought one of my own. The ZX5-SP if the grip levels where up was awesome it just stuck like glue and could match the pace of any of the other cars out there but I found I struggled when the grip levels started to get very low.

The hardest car to drive I found was the BJ4 WE.

The hall we race in usually goes from low grip to no grip at all, all the cars handle well when the grip in the hall is there but when its on a really slippery night then the Tamiya's just always seem to be able to outpace the other cars.
Yep, I tottally agree with this guy. The 501x is the easiest to drive.
And the coolest looking R/C buggy I have ever seen.
The B44 is just as easy to drive as the 501x is also.
The BJ4 worlds is the hardest car to drive, I saw that for myself,
people with 10+ year exp didnt have a problem driving the Bj4 worlds,
But a guy that has just as much exp as me broke a front A-arm every 5 mins, I have never in my lifetime seen a guy go thru 10+ A-Arms in an hour time. I told him he needs to stick with a B44 or 501x.
As the Bj4 is far too advanced for our driving skill.
