Im tired so this is gonna be the short version
DEX410: Built like a tank and turns on a dime, very planted buggy that is hard to upset.
Cat sx 2: Very nimble buggy with great shocks. Very responsive and very tunable. Also the quietest since belt driven.
B44: Good for flat off-road tracks, but gets upset in the real rough stuff. Remember, it is based off of a touring car.
ZX5-fs: Very good all around buggy with excellent shocks. Car is very responsive to input.
I have at one point owned or currently owned all of these buggies. If you have any specific questions, pm me and I'll get you answers.

evolution of the B44
RC10TC3----JConcepts BJ4 non worlds----BJ4 Worlds-----B44
granted there has been great steps to make it a very capable 4wd buggy, but it's history is from an on-roader

It'd help to know what type of track you plan to run on most often - some of these buggies are a little more suited to one type of track than the other - and then again there is your LHS parts support to consider, and your driving style - and your planned maintenance program

If you need any setup help with your Kitty Cat let me know! As far as your question and after running them all, the Durango is a tank if you get past the hinge pin holder issue, turns well, helps if you had eighth scale experience for tuning. The Cat is very tunable and reliable, smooth, easy to adapt to any track with little tuning. The b44 is like a sled, I always get a kick out of watching the back end bottom out. They run well though and are a solid platform. The Lazer FS is a great all around buggy. Tends to do some strange stuff if you don't show it consistent tlc.

Hihi,
Could u elaborate what do u mean hard to upset for dex410? Do u mean it difficult to find the right setup for dex410?
So far I have heard that dex410 is kinda hard to find a good setup out ofvthe box campare to lazer fs2.

new 4wd buggy
I've narrowed new 4wd purcharse to the CAT SX2 and DURANGO - Amain has both w/ plenty of parts support. I currently have the HB D4 and love it, but thinking about getting some newer technology since it has been discontinued.
I have owned everything else (Kyosho FS2, B44, Yokomo BMAX) so not interested in those...IMO the D4 is better.
Just wanting some feedback on those who have owned/driven both the Durango and CAT SX2...and maybe better yet if you could compare them to the D4.
I know the CAT needs some aluminum upgrades, but it is still cheaper than the full-on Durango even w/ the upgrades. So, I don't know that price is much of a factor. Also, the thought of going back to a belt drive like my old XX4 sounds tempting....I loved that thing. So, as you can tell, I'm leaning CAT SX2...but Durango is keeping me from pulling the trigger.
Thanks....
