I have the 22-4 2.0 and it's been a blast. I think we put a slightly faster motor in it than we needed but it is really a great setup right out of the box. Haven't changed a thing.
I personally like to buy kits new because I like to build them and I know what setup it has and fluids etc. But you can just as easily buy a used roller and tear it apart to set it up how you want it.

After ripping on this car with a 5.5 since it came out I have had zero issues and love this car. However, yesterday I had a rear cv pin come loose from a backed off grub screw and chew up the carrier, as I was replacing it I was wondering why Losi does not go with the cv joint captured by a larger bearing like some other manufacturers. It would be just a change in the hub carrier to accept a larger inner bearing. Just curious, not complaining

The car is just so much better than everything else out there right now the only reason I'd buy a new one would be if it was easier to work on. That's the only thing that a B64 has going for it. The 22-4 2.0 is all around the best wheeler out right now. Due to quality problems that I had with the original 22 and the early SCTE I am a total TLR hater but the 22-4 has totally won me over. I was among the first folks to buy a couple of B64s with great expectations but I'm still driving the TLRs. Nothing else has the same smooth feel and they are hell'a durable too.....anywho, I don't see why they would come out with a new one unless they made working on it easier. The car is dialed right out of the box with the book set up for almost any surface from wet dirt to high bite clay. I don't see a true new car coming out. At best a new car will have a new box and aluminum wheel nuts.

I really cant see much that can be improved on this car as its pretty much drives almost perfect out of the box, maybe a 5mm carbon front shock tower as the plastic one will crack if you indo a tipple upside-down a few times, but that's to be expected, I put the Exotek on mine and its money. As for making the car easier to work on, that would require significant design change which I hope Losi would not do as Losi has hit the nail on the head with this car.

It'd be nice if the driveline were redesigned to be a 2 belt system. The 3 belt setup was meant to center the motor, which became less necessary when everybody went to short packs from saddle packs.
