Touching on Darrens points above, the cost of Kyosho kits and spares in relation to the other manufacturers was part of the reason why I didnt get the FS2 in the first place.

I bought the RB5 first on the advice of my LHS but then when it came to 4wd a few weeks later I was influenced by the cost and availability of the AE kit/parts over Kyosho.

Now I know the B44.1 is a great car, looking at the results from all around the world tells us that, but at the moment it isnt working for me. So I am going to get some better drivers to try it and if its dialled for them then I think I will look to cut my losses. I am a beginner so I dont expect to drive as fast as others, but when I was instantly faster with my RB5 with no prior practice or set up then it tells me something is not right with me and the B44.

Hopefully, the people I get to test it will have some feedback that the car is set up wrong and be able to help me out as that will be the cheapest option by a long way.

Failing that though then I will be looking for an alternative 4wd and with my preference for shaft driven then my options are limited somewhat. Add to that the fact that first impressions of the RB5 on the track tell me that we are going to get along just fine together and it all sways in favour of the new FS2 with big bores...

Not just to save the £400 needed for the kit.....
