Rb5 as it doesn't break at the front, plus you then have the great Kyosho quality.

My rb5 lwb vega was v good.

Have had a RB5 Gen 2 and a 201 Gen 2. To me the RB5 felt the safest of the two, but the Tamiya had better pace over the RB5. Both have done me well all the same!
Geometry of the 201 is virtually identical to that of the B4 so take your pick between AE or Tamiya really...
Problems with the kick up breaking off only occured in first batch kits, since then they have nearly doubled in thickness through the bend line and tig welded across the back, theres been zero issues since then as I'm aware.

Thanks for the explanation Will. I was leaning more towards the B4.1 gen 2 but this has given me food for thought !

If someone else in your club has a rb5 or 201 then for the above reason I'd go that way.
