Is the xb4 worth getting

[mtbd500]

I have been an avid X-ray fan and have had all of the 8th and 10th scale cars at one point an still have an t3 and nt1. I have a b44.1.5 that is flying but I am on the verge of buying an xb4 to try one but I keep reading worrying info about leaking diffs and shocks. The consensus is that the car drives well but is it fragile or are people just building them wrong? And what is up with the lack of color, is it as bland As it looks in the pics?. I hoped they would stick with the orange anodising, imagine what orange Ali caster blocks would have done for the looks!
