Default 2wd buggy rankings

A question for those of you who have driven almost everything. Which buggy drives the best? Regardless of cost, maintenance, spares availability and other factors. Purely based on the buggy's ability to get you around a track fast.
Mine would be-
1 ansmann x2c
2cougar
3 x6
4 losi 22
5 b4

Please don't turn this into a "this is best because I currently drive it" thread.
Honest answers please folks. Any additional comments would be welcome to regarding pros and cons

I can't understand how you can have a 22 over a b4?

I'm not saying they don't. I just want to know which drives best for the average driver. I'm just curious

On high grip tracks a mid motor 22 is easier to drive fast than a b4. On loose surfaces I agree the b4 is much better

Only because I've not driven one Ben. I know there are lots more buggy's out there but I've no experience of them. The c4.1 does look good though

I drive on outdoor, old school grass/dirt rough tracks......10th as it should be.

I think what will show is how IMO new cars are disigned to be FAST on constant or high grip surfaces, astro etc but they can be quite a handfull to set up for mortals like me when the grip is low or hit and miss...was the cougars big short fall for me

1 B4
2 my heavly modded mad monkey
3 22rear motor (still strugle to find that sweet spot! must be me)
4 RB5 vega, not mine, but had a go...very nice, but bit costly

I did have a cougar, nasty car, not even going to place it.BUT thats for the tracks I drive on the most! (did drive yhe cougar indoors once and it was a lot better) but still cost a small fortune in aftermarket parts to make it work.

Tim's not had a Centro............yet. Think he's had just about every other car though!.

Mine would be the x2c then xxxcr,but that's only because they're the only two 2wd's ive had since ive come back to RC.
