And so it begins.......


As normally happens on these thread, everyone recommends what they have, not whats right for you! Just so its clear - I don't have B4. I did once, but I prefer 4wds, so I sold it.
However, thats the reason I'd agree with those recommending it. Because most racers will have owned one at some point it time, practically everybody understands them and can help with setup and repairs. And with lots of other B4's (and X6's which use a lot of B4 parts) out there, if you break something somebody always has a spare.
Is it a better car to drive than (insert name here)? Possibly not but having a better chassis that you can't use because it broke in practice and nobody has a spare wishbone for it isn't much fun. Its far more important to have a car you can keep on the track, which has to be the B4's biggest selling point.
The other good thing about the B4 is that the B4.1 Brushless RTR is pretty much everything you need to go club racing (just needs a lipo and charger) and be reasonably competitive, for just £200. It can be upgraded as you wish, but it doesn't need to be.
