The X1-cr FTE is a great buggy. Sure its a slightly older design but if it suits your style better than the newer buggies there is absolutley nothing wrong with it. Just remember one came 4th in the last worlds with not a losi in the top 10.
I'm sure it will be a little different this time round but you still can't say the X1 sucks.
I still think X-ray and Mugen make the best buggies on the market though.
