It's pretty.
Let's see it perform with a non-sponsored driver.
I am in the market for another kit and I was looking at the HB D216 .... since a sales rep / club racer at my local track runs it and almost sold me one. It's heavier than a B5M lite (which I race) reason it's easy to drive. (super important to me) And the parts are priced slightly cheaper than the AE (according to the sales rep).
I'm sure the D216 is a great car but did the rep give you any indication that the parts were always readily available? That's the thing. I wont by Xray anymore because I shouldn't have to order parts from Europe if I'm in a bind. That's why for a regular racer an AE is usually a better choice in my opinion. I had and D413 and loved it but there were times when I just plain could not get parts. I run the track shop and I can always keep your AE or Kyosho car on the track (TLR too but I won't sell those).
