I have to say that the 44.2 can't realistically be compared with its 6yr old predecessor. Very few parts are the same.
Let alone geometry and shock changes!
All the weaker parts are no longer used. Extra length and bb shocks stop that skippy rear end. For drivers of all abilities the 44.2 is easy to drive and setup for any track. The ae team are all very approachable should you have any issues.
The b44 platform is the single most successful 4wd car ever on an international level!!! It is probably used as the 2nd bench mark to measure other 4wds on, behind the legendary xx4.
I know the X-ray is a very good car and will not put it down in any way but you cannot really abuse a car that is as successful as the b44.0.1.2. /bj4/worlds.
