This is more of an intermediate to expert level car so buyer beware. If you don't understand weight transfer then you'll struggle tuning this car. The shock and roll concepts are easy to take on board if you've got a good baseline on set up. That said I find the car is very easy to tune especially with the new parts like the linear links and RRS upgrade which are essentials. I'm not sold on the top deck yet and don't see this as being essential. I'm almost awesomatix quick which is the benchmark chassis in Australia ATM and I'm Way quicker than my previous X-rays .

Yes parts availability is average but you need very little spares to keep on top of the car. It is a bit fiddly to build but once built requires very little maintenance. Getting the diffs out can be a bit painful initially and changing the lower roll centre pills is time consuming but other than those 2 the car is simple to work on. Shocks do require regular rebuilds but bar xray, nearly all shocks on the market leak to some degree. When it only takes 6 or so drops of oil to fill our shocks its a very simple procedure.

I give it 2 thumbs up 😀
