Looking for a new 2WD

[General Accident]

Yes, its another one of those "this or that" threads again. I have decided to have a change from the old B4 as I can't really get on with it. Don't know if its a lack of weight (I run LiPo) or just my driving "style" but I don't seem to be able to get the corners right. The back end always seems to have a mind of its own. I'm don't have a natural "chuck it in and boot it" style so perhaps this is where I am going wrong.

I'm considering a Losi XXX-CR or an RB5 but don't really know which way to go. I've seen that the RB5 is quite a porker but this could be a good thing. The popularity of the XXX-CR seems to have dropped right off this year - are they really that old-hat?

Any opinions? I have already considered an X6 but don't want to go there yet 'cos I am tight and try to get everything second hand if I can.

you could always just buy the x6 conversion kit instead of a whole x6 if you already have a b4, it will probably be cheaper than buying a whole car like the rb5 or xxxcr, not going to start a 'this is is better...' but can only say the x6 doesnt loose the rear end like a rear motor car like the b4 etc if you can give an X6 as much throttle into or round a corner as you like and it won't lose the rear end, it's planted and very forgiving if you make mistakes, I do think a B4 can be potentially faster over a lap if you get it right but the X6 is just easier to put consistant laps in throughout a race

the way to go is x6 conversion,

RB5 is a good car. handles like a B4 with a stable rear end!

support should be better this year also with Woody and a few others running the cars

Sorry, I should have mentioned, I sold my B4 so an X6 is not the logical step without busting my budget.

Another X6 from me I have run the B4 for years until this season just gone and switched to the X6 fantastic car. My results have improved by a couple of finals easily.

On how you have found the B4 and what you are looking for in your next car.... I would say an RB5 all the way
