No one thought the first XB4 was awesome, in fact the originals where very
unreliable, go back and read the first dozen or so pages of that thread, you cant
compare a 2nd gen and 4th gen car to a first production run.
Then we all should have waited to buy the future improved version and went with a competitors car because those already have the bugs worked out??? Come on man. It doesn't matter what generation the car is. It needs to be as good or better than the others. It needs to compare to all of the other current cars. If its not as good or better, why buy it? I want the best. I'm going to give it a chance but I'm keeping a 22-4 2.0 just in case. Personally, I don't really care how the kit went together, that's irrelevant in terms of how the car actually performs. I need the car to be durable and capable of winning races. If I need to cut the car some slack because its a gen 1, I might as well buy something else (I'm hoping that's not the case).
