losi xxx-bk2 & xxx-cr

[tobbe]

What is the different between Losi XXX-BK2 and the new XXX-CR?

[Lew]

From the Racer mag it says

New ball joints - hex in top for easy installation
new rear hubs - Lots of adjustment
New rear tower - More holes for camber link and rear wing
New Gear cover - more durable the old lexan version
New front shock tower - fourth hole added for shock mounting
New material - EA3 plastic used throughout

And aparently theres changes to the gearing end.

All the following are NEW or atleast different to the BK2.

Front Shock tower
Steering rack
Rear wishbones
Rear Hubs
Driveshafts
Gearbox
Motorplate
Gear cover
Diff
Rear pivot block
"T" plate
Rear Shock tower
Bodyshell
Wing set
Battery strap
Ball Studs
Ball Cups

Most chassis and suspension parts are now made in the new AE3 material.

If anyone is considering upgrading a BK2 to a CR, I'd seriously check out how much it will all cost, and you'll see a new kit is not much more.

that is something that others can't really answer for you as some people will prefer each model.
Best way is to try them yourself if you have friends who race them and see which one suits you best.

I say the B4, It's drivable as soon as you build it

[tobbe]

I guess I will get the B4. My friend has a T4 and another one has a B2. Both are good cars. But thanks, for your answers. Great forum!

I've just went back to a B4 but im having a real hard time getting up to laptimes and speed of my Cr prototype. Had a lil test session earlier today and it went well.. but i've still some doubts. I shall give the car a while longer before back to back testing.

I was in the marked for a fresh car for next season. I tested my B4 back to back with my mate's CR the whole day and came to the conclusion that it was easier to drive consistent fast laptimes with the CR, so after years of driving RC10's, I ordered a Losi. Could be just me though.

The Bk2 has a higher gear ratio then the CR.

Bk2 is around 2:61 gear ratio

CR is 2:43 gear ratio
