Well the BK-2 has a higher gear ratio then the CR.

BK-2 is 2:61

CR is 2:43

I drove the BK-2 and is a little loose in the rear when cornering compared to my CR.

XXX the original

xxx Kinwald has graphite chassis material + titanium stuff

The BK2 has a different transmission to the XXX and uses VLA wishbones and hubs (extra outer pivot), still uses griphite for chassis and titanium

XXXCR
original XXX transmission
Diferent rear pivot block, wishbones and hubs
front wishbones VLA same as BK2
new steering rack thingy
EA3 chassis material and titanium

Mad, that's the complete opposite to what i found. the bk2 had a really grippy rear end, lacked front end and the Cr seemed to solve it.

the XXX KE is a great car, especially if starting out. however A CR/B4 would be better as other racers would carry spares if you ever broke somthing you didnt have..

wings n wheels carry most of the spares required and attend the national series

http://www.wings-and-wheels.com/

the spares are the same as most buggies, front and rear wishbones + maybe a rear pivot plate and block and also a rear tower

the xxx came out late 99 i think the XXXcr mid 2006
