Thanks guys, you both make valid points.
As my short list for a 4wd consists of 3 then you would think it would be easy to choose. Its not....
The shortlist consists of
* Lazer Fs2
* Cat Sx3
* AE B44.1
I chose these three largely down to the availability of spares, as well as them obviously being great cars.
Any decision I make is going to be a marginal one, so maybe sticking with Kyosho is the way to go? But then the Schumacher is made on my doorstep and is £80 cheaper for the kit... ~(why is the Kyosho so much more?) Then there is the AE.......
