AE B4.1WC hands down. The car is great out of the box. The 22, you'll have to get a lot of the optional parts to get it dialed in. And fiddle with things like raising the transmission up to gain rear traction, buy the optional bleeder shock caps, low friction shock orings, etc. It can be good, but it takes more work , I think, to be maybe as good as the AE.

...but what is the best Walmart to shop at?

Im an AE fan. The Losi doesn't need all those parts but their preference for shorty packs rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't want to have to buy shorty packs! Just say no to shorty packs! This message brought to you by funding from a crazy person.

I own both... they are both good cars.

The AE WE is good to go out of the box, the only thing that you may need is the to convert the springs over to TLR or Kyosho, and to add a little weight to the chassis. That's about it.

The TLR will require you to buy a few option parts, like the brass 25* kickup and 5* caster blocks, longer ballstuds (I find this a must, but you may not) and shim the tranny. The fit and finish on the TLR is very good, unlike the AE, not that it matters much, the AE doesn't seem to mind. The Losi also jumps much better and seems to be a bit more stable thru the bumps too.

Overall, I suggest the AE, but like I said, either car will work.

Like stated already. The B4.1 WC.

The losi was stable, how ever the B4.1 is easier to drive faster. The B4.1 is a very proven design.

Guys I'm not being biased but I've owned both just not the Worlds edition,I currently own a 22 and I love it but that's an opinion just like every other reply up here. See if you can drive both at a local track or something and see witch jumps out at you and feels the best, I personally love the 22 for the fact that you have to chase setups and that keeps me on my toes, but I'm waiting for Associated to release the big bores and I might be eating my words.

Just buy both and decide for yourself. I've had the WC since it came out and just bought a 22 to compare because there are a few shortcomings with the associated.

Then don't go RC racing. Maybe try slot cars or pinewood derby

You forgot about the dex 210 and the rb5 and soon to be rb6..... But seriously get any kit and learn how to tune it, all can be fast. They all have their own advantages/disadvantages
