i like my RB5, really forgiving car to drive compared to the B4, though it can be a tricky car to set up on occasion (though that may just be me...)

The S2 is a thing of beaty though, or you could run the Fray Bentos....

Anyone else feel that these threads are completely pointless?? It just becomes a shouting match between drivers that already drive other cars
So on that note........

STICK WITH THE B4 - It ain't world Champ for nothing!

Being the world champ doesn't make a car the best in the market. People like Neil Cragg can probably win big races with almost every car.

Plenty of space for big brushless ESC's and non-mini receivers. I'm running a Sphere and a Phazer (i.e. not small) and there's room to spare. The nice thing is that inside the tub, it's one big open space. Not all divided into compartments like an X-6

The S2 is nice and slim but then does need real small radio gear and does cost a fair bit more...very nice chassis though.

But the X6 has the results Plus can take Lipo and normal size radio gear.....oh and is just better

I had a Full sized KO servo a Nosram 2007 & a Futaba pcm1024 in one!
So no problems with fitting things in & Lipo saddles will fit
Both cars are good though!

rather than just listen to people big up the car they currently drive (which seems to be what always happens on this topic of thread), try and see if you can get a go of other cars on the market, or even a good look in the flesh, and see what you think.

I currently run a Losi CR, but used to have a B4. I know what i prefer, but i certainly won't just say 'run the Losi, it's better'. I just prefer my Losi cos it suits my driving style more (which is a very important factor).

I havent driven a 2WD car for years but i used to drive a losi XX (not CR!)
So if it was me i would go for a losi again but thats just because i never broke anything on it, and even if you do the parts are cheap, its easy to set up, easy to drive and i think its a really nice looking car

I'm really tempted to get back into 2WD especially since the cars dont seem that expensive!

Anyone got a XXXCR for sale?!
