Any experienced racer have raced their madrat/xpros agains the benchmark B4 and XXX-Cr's? Would you mind sharing your impression about the cars? And now the $100 question - what is needed on the pro version to bring it to B4-level as the FT B4 is only a few quids more?
Thanks!

Booooooooooreed of reading about how it's an RB-5 clone etc etc.
The car shares a few things with the XXX, B4 and RB-5 so make of it what you want, they're all copies of each-other to a degree. Any rear motored 2wd buggy is going to have pretty similar geometry and similar looking parts.
I am really pleased with how the car went first time out, completely kit standard and it didn't have any nasty characteristics or feel strange - really seemed to go well and that's without adjusting anything!
The X-Pro is a nice kit, the shocks are very well made indeed plus obviously it has bearings, graphite parts and lots of pretty Green bits :-)
