Default TRF501X - still at the front?

There have been quite a few alternative 4WD buggys available since I got my TRF501X, but I've not really been tempted by any of them.

For those of you making the switch, why? what have other cars got to offer?
For those wise guys not making the switch, do you agree that nothing is better than the 501X at the moment?

Personally, I dont think anyhting is as easy to drive fast and as strong. There are plenty fast cars out there, but they all seem to shed parts at the clip of a hose.

Discuss.

Lots of nice cars have been released in the last couple of years since the 501X came out - but I can't really afford to be buying loads of cars and I'm still happy with how my 501X has gone/is going.

I've certainly never driven a car as strong as my 501, i've had a few big crashes in it and it just seems to bounce of everything. On the slippery floors I race on it suits my driving the best of any other car i've driven.

we have been campaining the car since its release and have found it to be fantastic.strong reliable and responsive to minor setup change(although it rarely needs much deviation from our standard setup to be dialled everywhere). it would take something major for me to change!!!!!!!!!
the 501x is still as competative as any other car on the market.
