Well... for sheer quality of components, nobody matches Xray. I don't know how well they handle though. I've never driven ANY truggy. Any of the ones mentioned so far is a good quality truggy... they don't all handle the same, so the best thing you can do is get some folks to let you drive theirs if they will, then decide which one you like. Stay away from ANY RTR, and any "off brand" stuff.
