xray?? geez, i can't afford to replace the parts on the 04 TC. Fortunately its a TANK with alum hubs and races in a big dirt circle.
couldn't imagine supporting a 2wd buggy from them.

i just didnt know about the losi cause the rear cvd's look a little funny with the design. the ae has imperial whihc i dont like, and the other two i havent heard much about and i dont know if they have had much luck in competetive racing. but it looks like the ae b4 is the way to go, its cheap and its world class. the parts are also easy to get, but i wouldnt mind something different like the losi. but is there anyone else out there that could tell me which car i should get.

I have an RB5, so the RB5 is the best.
Seriously though, this post could go on for DAYS. It's all personal preference. Ask to drive your friends buggies at the track & see which you like. Parts availability should definitely be near the top of your list when deciding which one to get.

Just thought I would add some things: the Losi XXX 'CR' comes with SAE hardware as well; you mentioned that the B4 comes with imperial hardware, well so does the Losi. Further, the XXX 'CR' doesn't come with CVD's, it comes with universal joints/driveshafts, which are awesome. Check out a picture straight from Horizon. The universals help free up the rear of the car a whole lot more than CVD's, making the car easier to drive especially in bumps. I always liked them better back when I was driving Losi's cars (XXX BK1 and BK2 days) and still use them on the back of my X - 5 4wd car.
I agree with the others who have said its mostly a personal preference thing. The B4 is the most prevalent car out there right now, and it and the Losi are pretty much tied with both having great parts support. If you're looking for something different, Kyosho, Academy, and X Factory all make great cars that will set you apart from the crowd.
Hope that helps some, good luck with whatever you choose!

I would stay away from the MRC/Academy cars until they fix their durability issues. I have seen both the 2WD and 4WD cars break a lot of the time in the hands of good drivers. They are literally downsiding jumps and having ball stud mounts snap off.
I would guess in 10 races they break 7 times. I know at the Cactus they had a pretty hard time as well.

All four are good choices. A different angle to think about would be what tools and spare screws you currently carry with you. Both Academy and Kyosho are metric based cars while Losi and AE are standard. For simplicity I prefer to carry in my tool box either all metric or all standard fasteners and tools.

what big boss said is the best advice...personally it also depends on how you drive...years ago, i was running a schumacher fireblade and was loving it. i won a losi xxx at a rc swap meet and found out that i drove better with the xxx than the fireblade..the xxx was also about a 1/4 inch longer than the fireblade so it was more stable...trial and error

I would say if either losi xxx-cr or the rb5, I know i will prolly get flamed but.... This shocks have a easier maintenance design.
The vertical bal studs on the rear of the kyosho are nice and the durabilty of this car is pretty exceptional. This car is alittle more expensive and doesnt include ti turnbuckles.
The forward traction the losi is pretty impressive but has a more palnted feel. If i ever switched i think i would go with this car at the moment.
I could go on about the likes of the kyosho cause i have one although i have driven a few set-up losi's and they felt better in some areas compared to my car for me. But overall just as quick with a skilled driver. If your track has kyosho parts i would suggest the rb5 if you don't wanna carry you own supply. The losi is well supported at most track so when i go out of state it's usually up to me.
I have a t4 and where as i lke the way a fellow racers b4 feels i just dont like my t4 shocks and wheels, the front bearing sit in the wheels as opposed to the hubs and the shocks aren't as simple as the other two top cars.
