Losi or Associated AGAIN !!

[stefke]

I know it must be the 135.368.123th time this question was asked, but since my B4 is a bit worn out after 2,5 seasons of racing, I'm looking for a replacement and am boubting between a new B4 and an XXX CR.

I started racing Losi XX and XX CR cars and loved the forgiving way the Losis handled, especially on rough tracks. But as my driving skills improved, I started to lack front end grip (or steering) with the XX. So after I tested someones Associated at the local track, I switched to a B2 and never looked back. After the B2, I raced a B3 and a B4 and liked them all.

But now I got to drive someones XXX CR and I must say I was amazed how good it handled. I lapped a few tenths a second faster per lap as with my B4 !! It seemed to have the classic Losi behaviour (forgiving, lots of rear grip) but has added the amount of aggressive steering mostly typical of associated 2WD's.

My question then : is this typical of the XXX CR or did the setup of the CR I tested just hit the sweet spot ? Do any of you guys made the transition from a B4 to a CR (or tested them both) and what were your impressions ?
