The only issue with the K1 is it comes with gear diffs and the team lads put ball diffs in them because they don't like the gear diffs. Whether it's in the K1 or SV2 (same design) the ball diffs don't last long . One lad runs a ball diff in the front and gear in the rear mainly because the ball diff doesn't last. If you go to the line and it slips it's not a 2 second job to nip it up. If you stick with the gear diffs then it'll be fine.

The other thing you need is front alloy gearbox tops if you don't run the shock tower savers the tower digs in and snaps the top.

I borrowed a lads for Worksop, it felt good though and I was flying with it but it wasn't enough to make me buy one considering the amount of extras on it.

The XB4 seems like a solid car and look like they go well as I haven't driven one I can't comment but they're expensive for spares (they don't sell wishbones in pairs).

What about Yokomo? It's a cracking piece of kit and doesn't need money thrown at it out of the box. The only thing that you need extra is shock pistons and the HD rear roll bar kit. They're easy to drive and you go round thinking like you've had a poor run because it felt like you were driving like Miss Daisy until you check the times.
