they all pretty much cool out the box.

the 44.2 is probably where id go, I have the K1 and 44.2 and 44.2 is a lot easier maintenance and good if your new, the K1s take tweaking, that some don't like.

Cant comment on others

K1 is a great car very fast and easy to drive but requires several after market expensive bits to improve performance and durability

B44.2 is a great car and very easy to drive, also very durable and has several after market hop ups and blingy bits if your interested.

X-ray XB4 is a brilliant car and fast as feck out the box electrics in and ready to win

the losi 22-4 seems like an awesome machine as well.
raced against one yesterday and it was flying


as always the choice has to come down to you, what your driving style is like and what others at your local club have.
if everybody is running B44's and you turn up with a K1 finding help setup wise is going to be an issue

alloy front and rear gear box tops, alloy yokes
if you got a standard K1, then the big bore shocks will help stabilise it on bumpy tracks
S1 chassis to give more flex
