xray is a great car for high or medium traction. I spent a year trying to get it to work on low traction indoor tracks and it doesn't. the setup info that xray themselves put out is just wrong, I bought new "low traction" parts and it was worse. no amount of driver overcompensation for lack of rear traction will help you win a race. it's just a handful. also design flaws like the protruding front bumper which digs in all the time. some aspects are very good quality, some material choices are designed to wear out quickly.

I ran my bmax 4 for a few races, instantly faster on the same low traction surface. a pleasure to drive, something I could never say about the xray. easy to dial in the right amount of rear traction. parts of a higher quality material (apart from the over hardened hingepins) and cheaper too.
