one thing you can garuantee with the b44 is that there'll be a lot of people who will carry spares just in case, and a mine of information regarding setups etc...

My opinion the 501x.

Iv owned a few 4wd cars, inc a yokomo, lazer zx5, bosscat, procat,egress,avante,trf501x, lazer zxr, optima mid to name a few over the years.

The car that i have broken least is the 501, The only things broken include the front shcok tower and shock shafts either bent or snapped. Not bad considering 4.5 sintered power and a slightly throttle mad thumb.

Col.

Vinny, the Yokomo was the car to have 10 years ago. I remember when dogfighters were the best to have, very expensive compared to the likes of what i sued to run and genreally used to win all the meetings that i used to attend too.

No one runs the yokomo anymore as its expensive and spares etc are not easily available from uk stockists like they are for other 4wd cars. Just out of curiosity do you race yours?

I dont remember saying it was slow, I just said from what i've seen its not a tough car as thats what the thread was about.

Out of the 501x's in my my club (3) only one has ever bent a shock shaft, there hasnt been any other breakages.

no, i haven't run one, i used to have yoks though, and the YZ10 was a great car at the time, but the MX4 (which I had, it was poo) and everything after (apparently) have just not been competitive in the UK.

I won't say they are bad quailty, I agree yokomo are superbly finished and look great... shame the BX just doesn't go too well (again, from what I've heard, not from personal experience) and isn't strong, which is after all what this thread is about!








so how much have you run it then?

trust me try somethig like a xx4 or a b44 and you will soon find your BX to be slow and weak. I have two friends who both run the BX and they seem to break lots. and the cars dont seem to be that quick at all.
