I really need to put a bigger note in there, most of the modifications are definately minor, the most work I did was to fit the losi one way.. this was a bit of a PIG, it needed the most work of anything and for a perfect fit took a lot of time. But- I think this would also apply to fitting the one way to a XX4 ??. Lesro and Xfactory now have available a new one way which doesnt need any work to fit at all so removes most of the hard work that I went through.
I really need to look at the review and make sure I point out that the hard work is really fitting the losi one way and not something you need to go through.

If you are running fixed drive that also makes it a lot easier..

The normal mods like the steering tunnel, front belt covers and even the rear shock tower are easy to do and not time consuming at all like paul points out--- I know paul, and if HE finds something easy, they a monkey could do it !.

The car isn't perfect in the build, for that you want something like the Yokomo BX, but the modifications are done to save cost. Xfactory could have done these mods (or made new parts) but that would add to the cost.

I'd definately say it was worth it, the car seems more drivable to me than the XX4 and its easier to work on. It also looks like a proper car when built, certainly far from scratch built.
