yea i got mine for 180$, i guess if i was gonna pay 300+ id get somthing else also. but i really am surprized at how durible it is. 2 gallons of track learning, nothing broken yet. and many on the redcat forum the same way.
You speak that becouse you dont know how durable buggy looks like
When i got my Himoto/Redcat/Bazooka i tought same wow its durable. But when i started to drive with it on track and my driving skills raised i understood that its not durable at all! Yeah some links in this buggy is pretty good, but mostly suspension is junk. In competition you everytime think and afraid what now i will brake... just raceing it. Ofcourse not all your landings is perfect but it not forgive you your mistakes.
With XRay i dont even think that, it survived even realy hard crashes.
But for driving with it on street or on backyard is ok, but on track where you go to your and buggy limit you will se differentse
