I will let you try it next week.
You can tell me if that cost can be sustained

It really is a perfect car to drive!

I recently plumped for an X6, as it has a good rep and is easy on setup. Yet to run it, will have done by this weekend. I'm no ace, so probably a safe bet.

All things being equal, and starting off (no legacy parts), I'd hunt for a good AC CR2 - having watched Will White aka Legacy555 put one round a polished wood track, with stagger ribs on the front, with a time that would have put it on the 4wd podium, I have yet to be more impressed with a 2wd than that.

Me personally I remember having a go on a squared in practise when I was running 4wd . I was immediately impressed on how an un setup car had far more high speed turn in, grip and flew over the bumps compare to the numerous 2wd cars that I have ran in the past .
I don't know about all that - because literally any next generation car is going to outperform something of an earlier era. Doesn't prove anything other than (most) newer cars are better engineered. But it still doesn't change the fact that the people that complain about breakages are the ones crashing OFTEN, and that's not the fault of the car it's user-error.

What do you need five of them for, replace between heats instead of repair?

Love my Losi 22.
I dont have any weird conversion on it.
Just got some added weight and SMC Saddle Pack lipo.
Drives good enough for me.
I dont have aspirations to be a world champ but enjoy blasting it round at the local clubs (when I can).
