I do like the III as well. Haven't driven it as much as I'd like but soon I'll be racing it more.
I've driven the XB4 (and B-Max4 II) as well. My comparison:
XB4 is great to wrench on. Quality is top notch, same for Yokomo. Both cars are great and are just close in comparison. It's a bit of personal preference. My preference is Yokomo since I also drive the B-Max2.
With several top drivers "switching" to Yokomo (see the EOS of last weekend), it 's easier for me to get a decent setup on medium/high grip tracks. For the 2WD I'm getting it sorted out by myself, but 4WD is just something I tend to race outside the meetings, basically just practice. So I don't want to spend all the time I have on finding out a decent 4WD setup.
If people at your club are racing X-Ray, I would go for X-Ray. You can help each other out. If people are racing Yokomo, go Yokomo. If they are indeed racing X-Ray and you still want to run Yokomo, you are the best lad.
