NOFX Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I wonder how many jobs are lost because of customs hiding stuff. I can imagine " Yeah we'll have it done by the end of the month, I've just gotta order a part." Delivery time's 5 days.3 months later..... customs have a ransom card put through the workers door.

J.K Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Still insane money IMO, especially considering the vast majority of owners flogged the VXL6 to buy a Max5/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timritchieblue Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Got my 1717 motor mount today. Will do comparison soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Not certain the 1717 will be an advance on stock - brilliant motor that it is, this is a big truck. This is the motor I use - absolutely fantastic - well built as well: http://www.rcecho.com/SKYRC-TORO-1-5-RC-Model-BEAST-X524-2Y-910KV-4-Poles-Brushless-Motor-IM669.html Al.

Ocdcbr Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi guys.... loving seeing news of new stuff available for the x. Sadly im no longer an owner. Sold mine last night for £670 inc the hd traxxas gears id never fitted. I do therefore have 2 items left that some of you may want. 1) the diff gears ( front and rear set) spiral cut direct from China. Out the pack but never fitted. They look very solid compared to the traxxas hd's.... thicker and more material in general. 2) I have a wheelie bar coming from jrc. The traxxas one. Sadly at the moment I'm not a v2 buyer. Too many 1/5 scales. I definitely am keen to get one at some point though. other than the diff gears being poor after a year of ownership I've been totally happy with the truck and I'd recommend it to anyone. Durability wise 2 rear hubs and a shock shaft!.... that's bloody good considering the hits it's had. Cracked wheels that I still have and use on my 5ive. Bought it for £650 sold it for £600 a year later.... never done that well on any other rc! Ill b watching this thread w interest to get my xmaxx fix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds fair enough. I love the 1717 motor, but think that size is 'just on the limit', unless you're not going to push too far. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
