Can't judge a car just buy it's High profile wins, there are about 5ish drivers in the UK who could win a national with just about any car you give them. Lee martin drives the 201 into many top class wins...do we form a que for the 201? B4 is still the best car on the market as far as world results....yet how many people have changed away?
Judge a good car by it's regional club results and national results accross the field, a good car should be strong, made of good materials,be quite easy to set up to drive well and have good retail back up. And it shouldn't need loads of extra money spent on it,or loads of hacking with a dremal to get it to work.
The losi is a good car,but if you strugle to find a setup to sute you it can be quite unplesant to drive
, thats not to say it's not a good car once you get it there
I think with the genaration of new mid,narrow cars is you must know how to set a car up to do what YOU want,as what you want maybe very diffrent to what bloomers,cragg, martin etc want. I along with a few other have tried a bloomers setup on my losi 8ight,we still can't work out how the hell he drives it

In rallyx a few years back Dave Crompton was untouchable with his crono for several years,The only people brave enough to run a crono were a few team mates.....there was no que to buy one
