I can't comment on the spares situ for the D4, but generally you can get any part for the B44 next day

I love mine to bits. With the popularity of the B44 it's rare you'll get stuck at a meeting because you broke something.

thanks do you know how old the d4 is ?

depending if you intend on being in the top30 at nationals or not...

if not, you will be fine running the xxx4 outdoors or anywhere, just run it and get track time and experience.

you don't need to spend money while you are learning, run what you have and then when you do come to spend money you can make an informed choice, you will also get to see various cars running at the club and be able to see for yourself...

I've been reading these forums for a few weeks yet, and by god how many cars have you got?

I tent to sway with what was said above, if you already have a car why not get yourself used to that first, until your ability out grows the car, then look at another car?

I started back racing after 5 years + away from it with a 'found in shed' MR4BC which was great to get back into the swing of things, although finding parts was a nightmare. It got me through the few weeks remaining of the indoor season until I swapped to a T3 truck to go outdoors. It wasn't until many months later I got my B44. About 3 weeks before we ended our outdoor season.

Stick with one car and get it running nicely is good advice. It's much like talking to people who can't do a lap without crashing about a 6.5 motor

I dont think a BMX track is the place to test a car out, especially on gravel, wont it muller it?

Out of the two you have listed the B44 will be the easiest to get parts for.

BUT: You have just bought a Losi XXX4 which will do you absolutely fine for the time being as pretty much every car will overstep your personal ability. I don't mean this as a personal putdown.

You are really making yourself look like a complete muppet as you carry on buying stuff at a rate of knots and not at all getting aquainted with any one car in particular. Forever changing cars will not do your progression as a driver any good at all as you will have no experience whatsoever to go on to get it running right.

Along with the B44 you will also go and have to buy saddle pack lipos as your stick packs will not fit.
Check the for sale section on here. Someone is selling an X5 without shocks, so you could actually make a decent car out of the XXX4 and that. That said I don't believe from the impression you convey over the forum that you will come to terms with either car as you lack the commitment and patience required to set a car up properly for racing.

If you really want to start racing stick with a 2wd as they require less maintenance and you can get away with budget electronics far better than in a 4wd. This advice has been given to you so often that this thread is doomed to becoming another Stampy-Bashfest...

I feel empty for having written so much yet again to someone who has been outright rude to me personally and others but hey.
