No - cat k1 & dex 410 cat too advanced for me, dex 410 just not sure on that one?
Maybe - xray still like it, hasn't got much supporting in the above poll, might be just a bit to 'loose' for me?
Maybe - Hb d413 looks good, triangular shock braces and insert to arms, seems great ideas
Unsure of hb support in uk and future numbers racing it (setup info), particular when there are so many other 4wd makes available - do I really what a 'different' car just yet?
Centre diff, advice needed from others - would this be good for the bumpy grass track I run on????
No - losi 22.4 would seem to be ideal for bumpy tracks, plus most 2wd at track are the 22, but the triple belt and ball diffs put me off as it seems complex and would need more time/ maintenance than I want to do
No - zx6 thinks it will be ages before its changed and comes out.
Yes? - Yokomo bmax4iii - like this, lovely quality, looks like it drives smoothly and balanced, what do others think about for bumpy tracks and support in uk for it
See new usa and uk distributors recently appointed - big company's
Am I right in assuming stopped selling /supporting it here for a period recently??
So much choice-

To me it depends weather you are wanting a car that has smooth driving characteristics or a car to compliments a very smooth driving style. This is very different!
For example I see myself as having a smooth driving style, progressive with the throttle, brakes and steering (others may say Im just slow
) so I set my cars up to be pretty aggressive because my style seems to compliment this. When the B44.1 came out I was pretty good with it but see other with the same car or similar style car such as DEX 410 and who really struggle because they are aggressive on the sticks.
A good friend of mine has an aggressive type style and found it tough going with a B44.1. He has moved onto a Cat K1 and his results have drastically improved!
If you prefer smoother cars and with the surface types you mentioned Id go with the Cat K1 or the 22-4. Both designed around the XX4 concept (latter being a modern day replica) they can be pushed VERY hard on bumpy and challenging surfaces as I know the Cat K1 is and the new losi should be! If you are wanting a car to compliment a smooth style then maybe a shaft driven car? But really most of these modern cars can be altered in set up to suit most driving styles.
