K1 aero or B-MAX4 III

[hardijs]

Looking for 1/10 4wd buggy... at our track many drives 22-4 and xb4, but I wish to be different, so looking for other top brand buggy.
So now at top of my list are two K1 aero and B-MAX4 III... nobody drive those cars at my country, so asking for advice abouth those two - strong and weak sides?
Intend to drive modified class- at small, tight carpet track, as well at outdoor rough and low grip track which is build and used mainly for 1/8 scale buggies.

The main answers I wish to find to following questions:
1. Durability?
2. Performance on carpet and outdoors low grip?

B max4 iii all the way, only thing ive ever broke was the shock mount on the gearbox. I rave on carpet regular and the car is just superb, the K1 is probably the only car i havnt driven so i cant compare the two to give an umbiased opinion

zx6 all the way.lol can be made up in short wheel base and is nice on twisty tracks.maybe a little on the pricey side but spares are cheaper imo.gear and ball diff options, and many fine tuning options

New York due within 6 months, also new Schumacher 4wd due in 6 months as well. I love the k1 really good car for me, makes me wonder y everyone don't have one

Having just switched from a K1 aero to a Bmax, I am happy I swapped.

The only issue I have had with the yoke is the front bulkhead, which does have a tendency to break if the tower digs in, although this can be sorted with either a brace or tower protector.

I never got on with the K1... the Bmax just seems to work everywhere...

K1s go very well, but i cant help but feel its more delicate than the Yokomo? Not done a bulkhead yet, but then i always run a cut TC tyre over my tower, saw the force of a dig in take out a guys lower bulkhead last week, yikes, other than that the Bmax seems real quick, and built like a tank, has to be for my driving talent, or lack thereof!

Did you tryed both cars on carpet?
Reading posts at all forums I thought that K1 is better on carpet or high grip, but b-max is better on tracks with less grip, is it so? or not?
