B44.2 or XB4

[tiny tom]

Thought I had it down to one car, but can't choose between them.
Both very nice cars.
Please help because I have to order the car on Monday, because I have regionals starting in over a month

I'd take the XB4, I know it's had an update almost straight away but I think it's going to be epic. Not that the B44.2 isn't already awesome, it's just down to personnel preference.

I just went from a B44.1 to a Durango.

If i was to pick another car, i think it would be the XB4, it looks sexy and i think it's gonna be a real contender. I don't think enough has been done from B44.1 to B44.2, at the end of the day go with your gut.

XB4 all the way

its a fantastic car

easy to drive fast as, and easy to work on.

you also dont need to add any optional extras out the box as everything is included

I had the same decision, and went for the Xray. Love it, it's working really well for me now. Can't wait to take it outdoors.

Both are great cars though.

Look at what others run locally, its always good to have someone else to talk to about locals setups and someone else to maybe borrow a spare off if its something you don't have. The Xray is a sold car though now the upgrade kit is out.

Ive said this before, so I,ll say it again.

if your local store stocks them and also has the parts then get the XB4,its a cracking car. BUT as I did, I rang 4 stores and none had them, wheelspin was on backorder for 3 weeks. Modelsports didn't and others. So I bought the 44.2 and K1

I further looked at the spares list and most stores had under 10 items, or None for the XB4

Do the same for the 44.2 and K1 and youll see most vendors stock them, and the parts list is massive.

The position I took was I need stuff in good supply not short supply, this may not be the case, but google told me otherwise. Just ask your local store and if they can readily get you wishbones, etc, then go for it

Out of those two the b44.2 all day everyday
For lots of reasons
Availability of parts, setups, advice
The results it's had
Ease of use and maintenance
Reliability

I have had both. Most recently the Xray. Fantastic car. Fast, smooth and handles great. Only gripe is cost of parts.

The alloy caps were the last straw for me so i got rid of it.

If i were buying again i would choose the Xray every day. Team Associated would need a drastic update before i contemplated buying another 4wd from them.
