I can only agree. I didn't want to say buy used XRay, because someone could say that I'm biased toward XRay. Truly I belive any used top car can be great for begginer, but Xrays are proven that their box setup is great starting point and need just minor tweaks dependending on each track. From what I've said before about Tamiyas and top competition used car - yes it was Xray.
