I've had an xray, and now run a Yok bmax 4 III.

The Xray XB4 isn't a bad car, but i struggled to get it to work well on low traction indoor tracks. high traction, no problem. it was expensive looking back on what i spent on it, and i think they made parts weaker. Original parts lasted ages, very solid, but then newer parts like wishbones, etc, seemed to break a lot easier than when first released.

The yokomo is just awesome. works everywhere and for me is a much better car. cheaper to run too, just run a front shocktower guard and keep some front bulkheads/shock tower mounts in stock. they pop occasionally, but haven't since i've been running a guard. it's the only week point on the car.

I've driven Richard Lowe's D413 and it was a beast. Really nice to drive, point and squirt and it goes there. Seems solid, and quite aggressive, not sure if its a beginners car? not seen many second hand for sale however?
