4wd help

[ashleyb4]

Recently i have been pondering over a 4wd and there is alot of choice and it is a very difficult decition to make. Well i had sort of decided on the x5 butlooking at it it looks sorta ugly i know i shouldnt worry about looks but i do like a menacing looking car. I like the X5 its self but dont really like the bodyshell. SO then there is the xx4, good car looks OK, BUT!!!! I love AE and i never thought i would drive a losi buggy but that may just be me being perfectic. Then there is the Yoke BX, Amazing looking car seems to be fast but the price it exspensive. Then the tamiya 501x Very cool looking car and if jimmys performance is anything to go by its a beast of a car but again new car still unproven parts not easily availble in britain and no major team so setups not easily availble. Then there is the pred that might end up being a bit of a dark horse as i like this car and it seems to perform well but they are exspensive. Also the S4 looks good but its a new car and is still untested.

The bj4, Zx5, And xxx4 are out of the window for various reasons.

So if any one could offer me some advice that might tip the ballence as at the moment its a stale mate.

If you dont mind me asking, what are your reasons for putting 3 very good cars out of the running?

the xxx4 is awful on outdoor bumpy tracks which is fair enough. but the zx5 is awesome. cheap to buy and dirt cheap for spares.

the early rumours about dodgy drivetrain don't really apply anymore now people know how to shim them.

Why not wait a bit and see how the new hotbody's car looks in performance and (anyone know) price, spec looks good.....

Looking at jimmys reviews the atomic carbon fibre convertion for the lazer zx5 looks nice but i would have to find out more about it. So the zx-5 is a maybe.

The xxx4 is because it isnt very good over bumps.

And the BJ4 is because i dont like it and i know two people who had them then sold them one know has a xx4 and he seems to like it alot more.

For £199, the Kyosho looks like the steal of the century!! I had not given the ZX5 much time until I started reading Jimmys' review and some other posts in various forums. I have to admit that I am liking the look of it more and more. In my own personal opinion, it is the nicest looking buggy at the moment.
For me, the choices would be BJ4, Pred or ZX5.
