Ah, first thread . Was waiting for this.
I had the same dilemma. Always was a Xray fan but when it came down to these two cars I had to go with K1.
Mostly because the belt drive and schumachers experience in making good buggys. First car I have ever owned that I don't feel the need to modify anything on it.
Both cars are exilent. Seen xb4 also and it is a nice piece.

i have an xray t3 and it built like a bullet, just unsure on the buggies i am swaying to the K1

I also got Xray so the quality is familiar to me. The same goes for xb4. Then Schumacher also have great quality.
The thing is I even got my K1 with me when watching television cuz I am so impressed with it even thou not one meter have been run yet.
It look super fast standing still. Love it already.

Time will tell on this. Stu Wood ran his K1 at Bury on Sunday and kicked my lilly white rear quarters... but he could do that with a Tamiya, so hard to say how that translates to less skilled drivers. Still feeling quite happy with my 44.2 for now. I think the XB4 has more "game-changer" potential, but it's not really proven yet. I know a lot of people will worry about the plastic diff gears too.

Interesting times for 4wd anyway, we had 12 4wd drivers on Sunday, the most we've had for a long time.

K1s have belts they are always going to become unreliable
xb4 not sure on that one nothing looks game changing to me ..
Looks more like a old fs kyosho I would not buy either of them

I've seen Stu running a few different cars over time - hell my old BMax was his before I got it, but nothing just looked as 'right' as that K1. Considering Stu hadn't even run it prior to that meeting it was amazing.
The JE boys have built up an XB4 on their facebook page so I'm sure Stu's handled one but he seemed more than happy with the K1.
