TRX-1s were the bomb !
My mate Oliv996 uses a Cat 2000 body and I must confess it's sexy.

At the French nats, on a really blown-out, rutted dirt track (and in the hands of good drivers ), the X-6 really shined, taking the 2 firsts places. The straight was so destroyed that most drivers were powering it only half-throttle and the 2 X-6s of the A-main were running about half a second a lap quicker than the other cars. UNFAIR

As for the disadvantages :
the car is obviously different, so you have to forget your old habits and re-learn how to drive and setup a 2WD.
The tranny can ask some work before running perfectly well but this should be addressed with the 4-gears one.
When the grip is low and unpredictable (like wet astro on yellows) I find it almost impossible to drive out of a corner without fishtailing, when it's hard, but possible to do with a conventional 2WD.
