Omitting the obvious. Having gone through the gamut of 2 wheel drive buggies this year (minus the Cougar SVR, and Tamiya TRF201), I would rate the 22 the 2nd worst, with the Durango DEX210 being the worst. I drive a Kyosho RB6 now and love it (have always been a Kyosho guy but the RB5 was getting long in the tooth and had stability issues with being so short in the wheelbase department), but I know everyone wont spend the coin I did in getting one. If I was forced to pick another car it would be a B4.1 WC Edition with the following updates. AE Hexes, Avid Triad Slipper, AE Big Bores with Kyosho Springs, Avid steering rack. Body is preference, but I like the Bulldog's more aggressive approach to steering over the Finnisher body. The Losi is inconsistent from lap to lap, any objective Losi driver will tell you this. As well as the huge problem of their shocks blowing out if the wind blows the wrong way. Parts wear on both AE and Losi platforms are a concern, and without proper shimming the AE buggy is the sloppiest of all of them. Yet with those 2 problems, it is still miles better then a 22.
