i'm thinking about getting into electric. i have an associated rc10gt and
love it. however i want electric too. which buggy do you think is better out
of the losi xxx bk2 and the associated rc10b4 factory team?? i plan on
mostly doing dirt oval. does either kit have a body conversion for a late
model or east coast modified or even a sprint car?? i just want some input
because i know i can't go wrong with either kit.

I did a quick search here:

http://www.dirtoval.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

....there's hundreds of posts using "B4" as a search string in their
forums.

I'd bet you get better more detailed info there.

Associated versus Losi ..... oh dear, another religious war ....

Personally I have Team B4 and have raced with it a few times and I have been
happy with it so far. The only thing I have broken so far (*touch wood*) is
a CVD (would have been better off with a simple dog bone), replaced with a
uni which has been fine.

One thing, as a beginner racer, I didn't go with the factory team kit, just
the normal team kit, thinking that it would be better for me to bend plastic
than snap carbon :-)

Do Yokomo make a 2WD? I didn't even know, never seen one, either at the
track or in the shops.

DuraTrax BX!!! (cheap inexpensive Losi rip-off!)
Readily available parts/ Hop Ups too.
Pretty Darn Tough
We have 2 Evader STs (yet another Losi rip-off)
and we love them!

<innocent look>

Did anyone say anything about 2WD?

</innocent look>

No, not to my knowledge. I was being a bit silly - though I've had an
excellent season with my MR4-BCS this year.
