I'm not an Xray owner, nor was I looking out to buy one... but it just seems to me that a current XB4 owner (that would also runs it as a 2WD) has very little incentive to replace it for an 'official' XB4 2WD.

If I look over the design changes they've made and the flexibility of it's design out of the box (in terms out motor and battery positions for example), then for many people 280GBP will not be worth spending on a car with this few changes.

Plus, if you're an XB4 owner looking to try 2WD too, why not buy the 2014 XB4 and use your old XB4 as a 2WD+spare parts car?

IMO I think they could've done more: For example have developed a tub specifically for the 2WD that allows a TM2/DB1 layout with a shorty and a saddle layout like they have now (layout options like that could also have been interesting for their 4WD).

Don't get me wrong, I like the distinctive design elements of the XB4 and I'm sure this 2WD will be a great car, but after such a striking entrance into the 4WD buggy class I can understand the small changes they made to make it a 'dedicated' 2WD buggy are disappointing to some people.
