Yup, got another xtruck a while ago, this is how it looks when I first got it in the mail.
Then I installed a lift kit and relocated the batteries. (Great for wheelie)
But I still not satisfied with it, so I deiced to go with 2.4GHz PCB, the xmods PCB just doesn't works for me, very slow response and can't even turn. So I installed the 2.4GHz PCB on it now with the stock mini-z AWD motor. The wheels are Aoshima Super swampers (brand new), Kyosho mulit off-set rims with AM alum. lug nuts. I'm still not happy with the drivetrain, its very rough. I'm planning of getting some bearings, better motor and some GPM for it.
On/off switch have been mounted on the side of the chassis, so it won't get turn off by the rocks while going off-road.
Got the 4WD upgrade in the mail few days ago and just got my AM shielded bearings and AM stock bb motor in the mail today.
Here's a video of the xtruck in action. Not a perfect video, only had 1 hand to drive it while the other hand is holding the camera.
Update: Got the model today!
looking good. love the gpm and the body really suits this truck how long are you planning for bodywork or is this going to be a ongoing project nothing personal i just want to see what colour you go with
Thanks boohoo, I'm planning on finish this project up ASAP, mostly because I want to get ready for snow, my other 3 projects will be on hold for now. As for the color, I either will go with the look on the box, or white & silver. No idea yet, any suggestion?
Update: Front wheel well finished.
It also work as a front body mount.
