Heres an objective insight into 1 brand of car I keep noticing.
That brand is the yokomo.
Every driver I know locally (both low to good standard) got significantly quicker with the 2wd car. From their explanations it seems its very easy to drive and very forgiving. Quote "it just seems to work well everywhere"
Also the 4wd yokomo my good friend just got. I usually lap him once or twice with my 44.2. On his debut with the car he was much closer to me on pace and did not get lapped.
If you want a car that is definitely going to be easy to drive then you wont go wrong with Yokomo.
This is completely un biased as I run Associated and may run Losi in the near future
