Feedtheinferno Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Most of first delivery so there are plenty out there Out of interest would you sell one without parts for cheaper? I want to do a BL conversion to one and wouldn't need the engine/fuel tank etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do a BL conversion to one and wouldn't need the engine/fuel tank etc? Mate, I'm assuming you've seen the posts regarding shafts bending and wishbones breaking, as well as the fragile shells, do you really want to base a high end BL build on one? Just a thought....

I'm just trying to deal in facts. They've RCModels have sold nearly all of these X2 that have arrived in the UK (according to JJJDSplace) and there are no owners on here giving decent reviews as to how well they run etc The only facts we have had so far, have stated how things have been breaking. My first hand experience having owned six Losi 5ives and with numerous guys I bash all running them hard, is completely different, we don't break them. I appreciate its a bad time of year to run them etc, which could be contributing to a lack of feedback, but there is no glowing endorsement from real owners, which has to be strange, right? All we have is would be owners who's opinions which are a mixture of wishful thinking and guesswork at best!

Not true JJdsplace can confirm (please do to put the matter straight) that just today, he received an order from someone called Darren (shipping to Luton) for a KM Baja. I was the person who recommended he buys one. I in no way hate KM. However I hate people posting opinions based on what they would like to be true, not what is factual.

I can confirm the sale hopefully if he a freind of yours he can put up some reviews. But in regards to all the breakages I am not getting any calls apart from the shells 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So, its nothing against KM, I would really just love for some owners to give us some useful feedback. JJDsplace - I think the majority of people are able to ascertain, that the KM Baja is a decent car, hence happy to recommend as we have the feedback. The issue is, despite all the sales we have, there is little or no real world reviews of how good or bad the X2 is. Anything that drives competition and gives people choices is good. We just need good quality data to make a decent value based judgement. We don't have that at present. I'm sure Daz will give you some feedback.
