Default 3 way duel review RB5,XXX-CR,B4

hi all, i was wondering if u could all have a vote in this....

should jimmy make a back to back duel review between the 3 2wd cars... losi xxx-cr, associated B4, kyosho RB5.

i would like this because im now goin to buy myself a knew 2wd buggy, and would like the pro and cons of the 3 compared. for example....

weak piont, electric fitments, setups, ease of gettin parts, the biuld, any hopups/modifications needed to make them better etc.

thanx jordan

To be honest mate, i run a xxxcr but i think the b4 will come out on top in your 3 way shootout.
Losi arent great for parts in the uk although carl (bigred) does a good job at bringing them in.
Also the B4 is great in the way you only change minor things from 1 track to another.

Please close this thread before this old arguement starts AGAIN!!

1. Everything fits in every car.
2. If your local modelshop does not stock parts for that car, don't buy it unless ......
3. You need to know a good mail order company. Most will stock most parts for most cars.
4. Stick with what you know. Don't you already have a xxx-cr? The learning has mostly been done if you built the car.

Sorry, rant over

I thought that the EA3 was quite brittle when i broke a wishbone and a shock tower quite easily. Compared to the B4 i would say its a bit brittle-er.
Not sure about the RB5
