It was ok, nothing magical. Nice car. I personally never bought one because of the cost of ownership. I run 4wd as a fun second class. I prefer 2wd buggy. When I run 4wd buggy, I want a durable car with reasonable parts pricing and ease of maintenance. Parts support of some form is always a requirement. If you are willing to pay xray's prices on parts, then go for it. it is a nice car.

Wildcat is spot on. Love my xray, haven't ran it much yet. (it's one of my bad weather cars for indoors when outdoors is rained out) But parts are definitely pricey. My only issue so far was the composite gears for rear diff. I've since bought the metal gears, but have yet to install them.
