I think the Durga will be a better car for you.
Durability is not a XX-4 strong point, certainly out of the box. Parts availability is a real concern now though, chassis are acknowledged to be out of production, front shock towers went through a really lean spot last year too.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to start any arguments here, the XX-4 is a superb car, especially for UK conditions, but now that Losi don't seem interested in supporting it properly any more it's hard to recommend it to anyone. I've noticed a lot of people move away from the XX-4 locally over the winter for this very reason.
There are now probably half-a-dozen modern, competitive cars on the market that in theory do not have any problems with parts supply, these would all be my choice over a XX-4 today.
