bk2 is full of graphite and a different tranny. the cr is made form plastic which is said to be better than graphite. it also has the older bk1 tranny in it. on other forums ive read that the cr handles better on bumpier ground. also the graphite chassis isnt too good for colder weather and people had them snap when landing in the middle of a jump. i run a bk2 with a cr chassis and a bk1 tranny. im very happy with it, so i think you should go for the cr since its cheaper and a more recent version and has the plastic chassis so your batteries wont need to be insulated since the plastic is non conductive. also the cr has newer rear hubs and rear arm mounts and the rear arms are different as well. go for the cr.

The New CR is basically a BK1 with the new VLA suspension. B has a different drive ratio than the CR and BK1.

Also, the new CR is molded from their new EA3 Material instead of graphite

Don't buy it now.....
every time i bought in the fall the rotters brought out a new version in the spring.
the cr is what everyone is doing to their bk2's
there must be a xxxx on the drawing board somewhere.
I would wait unless there is an indoor track you plan on running in the winter..\
