Since July, I've built and raced a B44.1 and a B44.2 when they came out. Last week I built an XB4 and raced it on Sunday. The build quality was absolutely the best of the 25 or so kits I've built in the last 4 years. I raced my B44.2 on Friday night and the XB4 on Sunday. I was able to run fast laps with both of them. However, I was able to run more consistent fast laps with the XRay. It's less twitchy yet rewards agressive driving. On the surface the kit looks like a B44 imitation but once you build it, you'll see the difference.
