The TLR 22.3 out of the box with kit setup is an instant competitive car. doesnt take much effort to get it going at all.
The addition of the laydown gearbox conversions has just made it even better. The standard car is easy to drive safely and many people dislike that about the car. But having had a 22.0 and now the 22.3 I can tell you the difference between them is unreal, they may have the same naming convention and share some parts but they are very different cars on the track.
In terms of parts and maintenance TLR is also very competitive. compared to other brands you'll find parts quite cheap but not of cheap quality.
The KF2 is no doubt a fast car, but from what i have seen, they break far too easily and require a mass of expensive parts to get to go well.
And your limited to only buying Schumacher. there are no exotek or jconcepts bits for the schumacher cars.
Xray are good cars, I've owned an XB4 and it was quick as.
but they are also some of the most expensive. other brands will sell you a pair of front or rear arms for around £10
Xray will sell you a left or right arm for £8
admittedly i have never seen an arm break on an xray but have heard of diff gears going and have snapped a ball cup myself.
as others have said you need to choose whats right for you. what you can get support for and what your other local drivers are running in order to help with setups etc.
I definitely think losi have it right with the 22.3 laydown platform. its such a good car
