I think it looks great and is exactly what I was expecting – a lightly modified version of the 4WD without the bits you don’t need so £50 cheaper. Just what people have been doing themselves for the last year. I don’t think Xray are trying to present it as much more. Is definitely on the list of “maybe” cars for me for next year but have to agree that if you are already running a converted 4WD XB4 there is probably little to get too excited about.

What is more interesting is the trend of trying to move the weight back a bit (motor further back and shortie lipo) as post above. A previous thread on here was debating whether you needed 3 different cars with different motor layouts (rear, mid and forward) to be competitive. I think the general consensus was no you don’t need 3 cars but do we now really have 4 options to choose from – rear, traditional mid, shortie lipo/forward (DB2/TM2) and full forward (DB1/XB4 2wd)?
