Wow, I totally missed seeing this thread first time around. I just started looking into the whole WGT thing since I'm thinking of getting one for next winter (I know, it's early for that).
Here's my take on this car:
Yep, it's not innovative at all. That kinda sux but there is a good side. I guarantee you that this car will work very well. How can I know that? Because the 10L, 12L, CEFX, T-Fource, HB, XII and every other similar T-bar car all work very well.
I really like the design of the CRC and BMI cars but I prefer T-plate cars. They have always been faster for me.
So, liking T-plate cars as I do you might expect me to jump on the X-ray bandwagon and get one of these right? Nope, I think I might have to go with a CEFX car.
