Buying the first release.

[jsw123]

Ooplers. Having taken up this hobby earlier in the year I started with a second hand 22. It's great but I now fancy a nice shiny new 4WD buggy. The 22-4 seems an obvious choice but I'm open to ideas.

The question is whether or not buying the first release of a car is a good idea?

For example the XB4 seemed to need an upgrade pretty quickly. Is it prudent to wait 6 months or so and see what kind of feedback the more experienced racers give it?

Thanks in advance.
