XRAY XB4 2016 1/10 4WD Electric Buggy Kit
Love this Buggy, I mean I love it, love it, love it. I had the 14spec and then bought the 15spec so I have been with xray for the last 3 1/2 years and got to say they really have improved the kit. At first i wasnt 100% sold because this 16spec is alittle shorter then my 14 and 15spec's where so it made it alittle twichy at first. after a couple packs into the buggy and some setup changes to get a USA Clay setup it was on. The twichynees turned into more steering, and more rear grip. I have had some buggys where you do a change here or a change there and you dont really notice anything, well on here thats so not the case, any little change and you feel it. Also I must say setup of the car is easy, It didnt take long for me to find a tight track setup and a bigger, faster, high speed setup. I shouldnt have to bring this up but xray plastic, carbon fiber, and Hudy Steel is by far the best out. the build and fit/finish was just great. I cant say enough about this buggy and just love the way it drives, if I happen to make a mistake which happens i dont got to worry about a arm breaking, or a shock tower snapping, Bullet Proof. upgrades ive got: Floating servo mount, Medium front/rear chassis brace, Medium Side guards. Aluminum rear hubs, Aluminum steering rack, and sometime I use the 12 degree c-hubs

XRAY XB4 2016 1/10 4WD Electric Buggy Kit
I've had this kit for about 2 months now. I've run it on carpet and clay with the basic stock set up. The only mods I suggest is the center diff. if you run on clay. It's an easy swap out.

I have no complaints about this kit. The build was incredibly easy. The drive is like no other. It's like the F1 off road.

If I had to pick something out, I would say that the popular parts are always on back order and I hear that comes from the distributor and not Amain.
