to be honest with you i am a bit of a newbie, but i did my reaserch and asked a couple of people who have been racing for years. they said to go for the b4 for a first time buy. i agree with welshy40 ! the team associated b4 rtr (2wd) was and still is my first ever car and they are brilliant!!! it is easy to find spares for them and they are cheap for what you get if you get it from the right place. but if you are looking for a 4wd then i'd go for the b44 because they have won loads of awards!!!
