Carpmart Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The above posts are wrong... It's actually people with X2's realising their mistake and defending the hell out of it, desperately wishing they had a Losi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing I looked at was that like the 5ive, A high percentage of the car is plastic, And in all my years in this hobby, The plastic that KM use is as good as any I have come across.even when it comes to the alloy, A lot is changed for the free parts, And your only left with the shock stays, Drive shafts and diff internals, This is why the only thing giving people trouble is the diff internals, Cos there's not a lot else left to go wrong or break. Since I've owned my X2 I've broken 1 CVD pin, 1 servo and 2 diffs..... I replaced the internals in all 3 diffs as it just made sense instead of doing the 2 and waiting for the last one to give up...... And the 5ive servo's aren't any more reliable then the X2's...... That's it.....Quite good considering the way I drive it... New X2 is out today too... £25 cheaper but doesn't come with the free alloy parts... They've stopped stocking the version with the silenced pipe too. Edited March 2, 2016 by scatteh316 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The 5ive servos are great! Savox 0236's or so I am told... I've a couple of them in different cars and they haven't let me down. Unlike the savox cased 0236. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Stock X2 servo's are actually very powerful.... much more torque then the 0241 Savox servo's I had in the X2...... Stock X2 servo's don't suffer from servo fad like the 0241's do either. If they can sort out the reliability out they will actually be a very good and viable servo but I suppose they are at the end of the day, RTR servo's.

DBXL Smithy Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Anyone using a 21 tooth pinion on the 30.5cc KM X2 engine? Will I need the engine mounts for the mesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the stock gear is a 19, you can flip the engine inserts around for the perfect mesh. I believe it's 2 up or 2 down and you can swap them round. Something along those lines anyway.

.AJ. Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 You need the 21 inserts, they are ones with the holes exactly in the middle, the 18 also does 24 when flipped, the 19 does 23 and 20 does 22, if that makes sense Also the KM use different sized inserts to Losi ones.....

Pistonhead Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Losi and most other aftermarket plates only need a mild sanding with a Dremel on their sides to fit snugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Personally I used to just use button head bolts... Never have to buy engine inserts again and much easier to get out if the heads round off as well, no nasty scratches in the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBXL Smithy Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just bought a Vertigo clutch bell/ 21t pinion and blackbone spacers for £30, would of cost me around £80 for the parts. Should I see a difference in more speed from the stock 19t pinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
