You tell them danny

I Sorta think Losi is a bit silly as they have the team to win the worlds and they have the car to win the worlds so if they put some effort in and won the worlds imagine the amount of cars they would have sold. but they aint doing anything there just sitting there consentratin on other stuff they need to forward paln to if they have great success with both 1/10th and 8th they will make lots of money which horrizon seems to like. They would have sent bloomers, tricky and danny would have had an ace result and yea truhe did do an ace job for a lone losi driver.

In my honest opinion i have tried all of the cars available and i do prefer the Losi, im assuming that it suits my driving style. The B4 was good especially at southport but i did a race with each and i was about 8 seconds quicker with my losi. I've driver an x6 and it felt ok, but it just wasnt my cup of tea. Never driver an S2 but i would imagin i would still prefer my losi. I mean i managed to win the first Schumacher Indoor meeting with it so it cant be that bad.

I know where ill be sticking.

Im not sure how much itd cost to send a team to the worlds, but if it won, I dont think it would sell tons more kits, I wonder if theyd even sell enough due to the win to cover the costs of sending the team there

exactly!

there were quite a few drivers at the worlds that had completely free choice of 2WD car, some had factory 4WD rides and no 2WD, some were 'local' japanease drivers.

most ended up running a B4, Travis (who's paint job is on the box of the XXX-CR) had all 3 cars built and ready to run and ended up taking the B4 into the main.

for the record, I don't think there are any 'bad' competition level 2WD cars out there, some suit certain driving styles. I think the B4 is the most balanced car no matter what surface it runs on. minimal setup changes needed between tracks.

all of the innovative cars interest me, I think they're the way forward really, taking leaps and bounds into advancing, it's a risk that most larger companies won't take, since moulds, marketing etc cost a lot of money. So the smaller companies like Team Xtreme, Atomic Carbon, JConcepts, Aero etc are making some really interesting cars imo.

edit: obviously an inexperienced opinion to most, but I think a lot of the current cars from an engineering point of view are following an imperfect template, more weight than is needed, more spread out weight, etc etc.
