If you diss the xray touring cars as being of "normal" quality you certainly haven't tried one... they don't handle any different that the other top-dogs, but the quality is exquisite, both plastics and alloys are the finest in business, which means a LOT less maintenance and parts replacement, and that's why they're particularly adapted to MOST RC'ers and are the "sensible" choice... I challenge anyone to find a (ball) diff on the market that, when built right, will last as long as a xray diff before needing a rebuild... Parts are expensive, but they barely wear out compared to say a tamiya or a HB.
I'm not a xray fanboi, and I run a lot of brands on my many cars without being stuck with one even within one category(AE in 10th OR 4WD, undecided on 2WD for this winter season, Mugen on 8th OR, xray on 10th DTM, ...) ... but when xray starts doing 10th scale offroads I'll buy one, maybe not the first car though, I'll wait for the first evolution (they need to do their teething like all the others ) Same for Mugen, the day when Mugen does a 10th scale offroader, I'll get one... quality stuff

hey paul yeah you are correct i vagely remeber a corrally being the base car but i suppose when i drove for xray back in 2003 with t1 the t1 evo and the t1r the car was pretty good i cant realy complain about the xray cars after all i had 5 natinal a finals and missied a win by 0.2 of a second with it a carpet wars championship the vegacup two day.
but what i will say the fk05 was defiintly based on the world championship winning 415ms and the t2 was based on the 415 msx.
the t2 deffintly was not as good as the 415msx i had one of david spashetts prototype 415 msx and that car was just amazing. i prefered it over the production car.
all in all i think the 10th buggy will be very good ive heard good things about the 8th car.
I certainly will keep in eye on it
