It doesn't elicit the same type of "wow, this thing is awesome" reaction that I had with either the XB4 2016 or the 22-4 2.0 but I have no doubt that its competitive with both of those cars. Maybe its not as impressive as the competition was when they were released because the bar was lower last year. Now there's a whole bunch of good cars to choose from and its harder to stand out.

Nobody had, or is having, a good time with the build.

Personally, I'm little disappointed by the simple fact that the car is so much like an XB4 2016 that I think that if I had not known AE had the car out I would have thought it was an XRay. My buddy is using his XB4 2016 body which fits like a glove. It really ought to be called the XB4.2. I digress, the car seems great once its built.

I just wanted to post something different than the normal reports about how people aren't having an easy time building them. Its tough for AE because, like I already said, there are 3, maybe 4 or 5, other excellent cars out now. Its harder to stand out. I for one am happy that it appears that I'll be able to run all the same brand of car and have at least some parts interchangeability between them rather than having to carry a separate bag for my wheeler parts.
