Smile K2 or YZ4 or XB4 16

So I'm currently running a KF2 and K1 Aero on Astro... I quite fancy replacing the K1 Aero with something new.

These 3 new cars all look great but what's going to be best? I know its very early days for these cars but I would like to see what peoples opinions are. Lets discuss......

I would stick with the same brand, Schumacher, some parts will be the same.

Also the K2 will be awesome!

Plus your supporting a British company!

You could go wild and buy all 3 and give us a back to back shoot out report. Personally I'd sit back for a bit and see which look to be going the best. So far I'd go for the YZ-4 because a lot of the YZ-2 parts are the same and it's ultra tough!

If you're already a Schumacher boy, I'd go for the K2, wheels and some spares might be the same, plus you'll already be used to working on one.

I've had a go of a friends 2016 XB4 & it's does drive really nice though

The YZ4 looks really nice & Yoks tend to be bloody good. Hard to argue against the level of the UK team either.

Obviously I'm biased but have a look at Inside Line Racing's new PR Racing brand!

The PBSR401 4wd has an excellent spec and I can't wait to get mine!

As others have said on here though the other brands are great too - it's nice to have a choice.

Just built my YZ-4 and have to say the quality is awesome. Spares wise you would probably be best sticking to getting a K2 with you already running Schumacher. But if that doesn't bother go for the YZ-4 :-)

I've got the PRSB401 4WD and the PRS1 2WD and they are both utterly fantastic!

They are new to the UK market, but I've been running them for over a year. Easily the toughest, hardest wearing and easy to drive cars I've ever owned.



More info here:

And they're all over Facebook too! Go on, take the plunge!

All your going to get from a thread like this is everyone recommending the car they drive, especially if they are sponsored. Waste of time asking. Also 2 of the cars you have listed aren't out yet so how can anyone answer. It's all down to personal taste really. Just buy what you like the look of most. They are all going to be top cars in the right hands if set up correctly. I drive a Team C TM4 and would obviously recommend that if not I'd change it

Thanks but no thanks.... Getting a little tired of everyone trying to sell one to me.

With any new brand like PR, getting it off the marketing starting blocks is always a bit tricky.

We've got to make sure that drivers know it's available and that it's good. Inside Line have taken the plunge and are starting by running a team of enthusiastic drivers who either already know the cars (me) or who are willing to give them a go. (the rest).

All we can then do is make sure it's visible to as many people as possible and then let track performance take over from there.

PR is now very well established in the Far East and the USA, is growing in Europe and just starting out here, in the UK.

I congratulate Kev Lee for taking a big risk with this brand and wish him all the best with it over the next season.
