Jefferson Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cheers for the suggestions the xt2e certainly looks a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I had one for 3 years plus, sold it recently. Ran it on 6s regularly but I didn't have the stock leccy bits. Its 4s max as stock but can take taller gearing, about 35-40 mph by adding a few teeth . Get the front CVD's as a spare set and swap the rear dogbones and cups for them, drivetrain is bulletproof. All for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Many places do that stock Ripmax but mainly Hobbystores seeing as they are Ripmax/Horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Now you mention hobbystores I'll do a lot more investigating this xtm as I have a hobby stores shop just along the road (not literally but 15 mins). So a local supplier could swing this plus they have stock at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Exactly why I mentioned it, the Rail is exactly the same as a GV Cage, just cheaper. Id have chosen the Rail just for the looks but went for the 2e, fitted a Proline SC truck shell to it with a few posts. Very well balanced chassis.

Jefferson Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the pics and info, think I've seen in another post that you had a beetle shell on the xtm as well-looked rather good I'm also considering the hyper ss roller and adding my own electrics....
