One comment I will make is that KFs seem quick in dry but they also seem fragile. I recall one particular race meet at Batley earlier this summer with 6 cars in A final which were 3 KFs, 1 B5M and 2 YZ2s. Only 3 cars finished and none were KFs as all had a front left wishbone failure on the same corner / bump.
Losi seem to be very strong (I believe I've seen the term "tanks" used) but are not popular at Batley so I can't really comment on speed. I'm sure the new ones will be quick though.
Ultimately, go for what is popular at your club as you will be able to get set up help and urgent spares if needed at a race (so you don't end up going home due to a breakage) - particularly if going for a Schumacher as they seem to need a lot...  |
Again what is best thread.
"Ashlandchris" I think this says more about the drivers of the Schumacher's that the car itself.
I bought a 2nd hand KF last year and have only broke one front hub since owning it, take from that what you will.
