As long as you can cope with the shitty shocks that AE make, then i don't see why not, i can help set it up for you mine was quick just never liked Associated shocks, ever.

Thumbs up

seriously dude, kyosho are bullet proof, there is no better value 4wd, for a club basher than the Lazer zx5....... added bonus I run one, so spares are available, plus as u improve with it u can bling it right up. The B44 had a nickname "cheese car". not sure why, but would b the only 1 at the club, poss. spares from daves b4 box....
Lazer zx5 on ebay now currently £40 with 12hrs left

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kyosho-Lazer-Z...-/150557298775
BARGIN. comes with some electrics, but rip em out n stick back on bay as they r crap, buggy is a gr8 startin point though...

If that's the choice, go for the Kyosho, I had a B44 when it was new, total rubbish over bumps, think the NBC regional I did was the was time I used it.

Had a drive of a FS2, seemed a nice enough car, not brilliant, but better then the B44.

There are better cars around though

I liked my B44 and the drive train did over 3 years with very little maintenance as mine started life as an Atomic Carbon S44 then when LIPO and brushless came out it got converted back into a B44. Was well made, reliable, cheap spares that were easy to get hold of and had loads of space for the electrics unlike so many 4wd's at present.

It wasn't the best on bumpy tracks but it wasn't any worse than some of the other 4wd's about. The B44.1 has the new AE shocks which I think are a lot better and easier to build (although drilling a bleed hole in the shock cap of the originals made them simple to build consistently to, or you could buy Yokomo shock caps) and chassis now gives more ground clearance I think it says in all the blurb which will help.

Personally I'd go with which ever one you can get spares for easily as after all if you can't repair it you can't race it! .

Driven a couple of Kyosho's in the past and sometimes they felt brilliant and other times horrible. The B44 was consistently rubbish on a really bumpy track, but you used the same setup pretty much everywhere and you knew what it was going to do.

Just going back to 2moro , how bad would the weather have to be to assume it to be cancelled, wet but not raining, raining lightly, heavily etc ?

I only ask as it's a bit of a drive.

Hi

yer i am starting to get concerned.weather forcast not to good.

But the thing is the track is normaly quite good as it drains like a dream, the only thing that normaly stops us is if it is raining to hard to stand on the rostrum etc, pitting no probs as we can go inside.

I am away from pc tonight so will just have to see what people want to do. can be called anytime on 07768 316440

will post on here 8am tmro with a sorta plan
