Back on subject though you need to try both cars really to see which you prefer the feel of or just pick one

Do you have the same moan saved on word then just change it around a little for every post that goes on the X Factory forum section
Right just to set the record straight, I run 2 additional parts that I think are needed for a lot of the tracks over here!!! They are the hangers and the axles!! That is it, anything else on my car is there because I want it for my own preferences. I have the front tower as I broke about 10 B4 ones in about 4 meetings, why pay out for so many towers when I can fit a K Factory one and finish races, I'm happy as the car stays in one bit, for me, Chazz is happy as I don't order front towers by the bucket load.
The T piece brace does exactly the same as the plastic one, only difference is the metal one does not "spring" the nut loose so I can tighten it more without it backing off.
My rear hubs, I ran them when I first got the car and was trying lots of different things, very rarely change them now and to be fair if I didn't have them it would be no lose, but I'm not just going to take them off for no reason.
Losi shocks, I have them as I didn't want parts for 2 different types of shocks to carry around and also I have run losi shocks for years, so why change. The car is very quick with ae shocks, admittedly the losi ones for some reason are just a touch faster but not sure why.
As to the reference to the ae boys not changing much that will be because they are probably not allowed to!! Can't imagine ae being too happy if the guys ran losi shocks can you, even if they were 2 seconds a lap faster, same with front towers, if they ran a K Factory one what would that say, the B4 stock one is weak??? I have no such limits to what I am allowed to run, if I thought Academy shocks were good I am allowed to have them on there. If I could get different front arms believe me I would have them on there as I get through one hell of a lot of them.
What people want to copy is up to them, if they want a strong car, like I do, then some may choose to go the same route as I have with parts.
Even if I ran a B4 privatly I would want the front tower and rear hubs, and probably a rear tower as well with how many I have seen go over the years.
As others have said, they are all very good cars, you don't really get a bad one now, especially not in 2wd. It all comes down to how easy cars are to drive for each person.
Just every time I seem to come on here recently people are coming out with things that just aren't correct or saying things are needed to get the car to go when they are not.
Rant over
