Kyosho has a Lazer coming out sometime this year. The prototype did pretty good at the IFMAR races. They finished well in the Bmain, but just shy of getting into the Amain.

Yeah if your going to race go with the kyosho. It looks SOLID, plus its a kyosho they have always had a sweet spot in my heart. If your not going to go with that then the MRC SB would be good, but you cant find parts for it anywhere, so that kind of stttiiiinks.

just spend the money, the bj4 is worth its weight in gold. the xxx-4 doesnt handle well compared to it.

ttech predator. for just 570 dollars, you too can own it.

i'd wait for the lazer. it's going to be awesome, and it should be coming out relatively soon.

Kyosho is gonna have a buggy thats actually theirs, unlike the BJ4. Have faith in Kyosho America, now that they have electric buggies worth racing again (i am dating back to 2000 when the Ultima RB was out), i can say they'll be makin A-mains in no time. The SAD news from the K team is that there will not be a ST in the near future.

Yes but you havent run this new one

It has a lower center of gravity
laydown shocks lowering it even more
lots of graphite and CF
and it's an overall nicer buggy

The K. crew as recently had its shortfalls in the 2WD scene. I do believe that some day the Ultima name will truly rise once again. For now, I have my sights set on that new Lazer.[8D]
