Default Lazer-zx5 FS or B44

Both have good part support overhere but associated is a little better(canada)

Any reasons i should pick one over the other?


Heres my list of criterias

I will be racing both in and outdoors.

It will be my first time racing.

I think i may like a less nervous buggy

I will be using lipo batteries.

Durable.

They are both good cars. Buy which ever is cheaper!

I "think" that the Kyosho may be slightly more durable, but hardly any difference in it.

Associated will be easier to setup (setup sheets and data available), and will probably have more 'mates' trackside, if you catch my drift...

50/50...go with your gut instinct. I have had kyosho and associated cars in the past, and both very good/strong etc.

I think the B44 would be more durable from what i've seen..

With regards to value the b44 wins hands down. Over here the Lazer is £80 more than the b44 and the b44 is carbon fibre not carbon plastic. Thats not to say the Lazer isn't a good car, it just seems a bit overpriced compared to a b44. My Dad used 2 b44's and trust me, they take some hammer.

Just out of curiosity...Are twin CF plates stiffer when compared to plastic carbon composite?
