RC_Ollie Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi so I was on modelsport and saw the GV cage, it looks just like the xtm rail. are they the same? if so why are they called soming different? only thing i could think of was that it could be like hobao and OFNA.

Nitroholic Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 It's not a new thing XTM XT2 and GV Rex X were th esame car. The 2 cars are the same and are badged differently. This is not uncommon. Hoboa - OFNA .... Hong Nor ...Jammin ACME ... Toys'R'Us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HootMaRoot Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 like nitroholic said there both the same [ they just use differant colour anodising] but you do get people that will slate the GV rex X and then 2 days later praise the XTM XT2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 they aint exactly the same, some features are different but it looks like most of em are cosmetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The GV Cage is excellent value, they look surprisingly good quality in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 the cage looks really nice in photos so i can only imagine how nice it looks in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrilling speed1 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 If i may, i stand you corrected nitroholic, the X-terminator xt2 is the equivalent of the G.V hunter and the X-terminator xt buggy is the G.V Rex-x. Also Xtm are the distributors in america of the gv models and the GV models are the distributors in this country. They are just known under different names because of different countries. The components however are 99.9% the same (with the models aka XTM rail and the GV cage). And if the GV / XTM cage / rail are as strong as the rex-x and hunter it will be one hell of a car And Mr t (rip m8) was one of those people who would back me up when i say they're virtually indestructible, as he was also very fond of the models by xtm/ gv Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 i realy like the lookof the cage. id like a brushless buggy bud dont want to go a far as a vorza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATZY Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 actually i have to correct you there, the rex aint very strong out of the box, a small jump and the back end fell off. the rear shock tower, wing mount and upper arms all mount to two little plastic lugs on the diff case and the brace mount which does naff all. i done a fairly small jump after rolling it and the 2 lugs snapped off. it needs beefin up with some sort of plate bolted to wherever you can for it to be strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 XTM are distributed in the UK by Ripmax..That's why Hobbystores sell them and spares. As far as XTM's go..I've owned an XT2 for a few years, and I love it. Nothing broken on it despite it being used a lot! I saw a GV Cage in the flesh, and it does look pretty nice. Mind you, the proof of the pudding is in the bashing, so I would like to hear if anyone invests in one how they go. Love the looks, but dn;t have that kind of cash to spend on a new toy at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I saw a GV Cage in the flesh, and it does look pretty nice. Mind you, the proof of the pudding is in the bashing My thoughts to, while it looks great quality, I have a feeling it might have some flawed weaknesses. Just an assumption I have though with it being so cheap. The roll cage elbows/joins are all plastic which probably won't hold up well on a hard hit.

HATZY Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 it seems to suffer pretty bad from monday mornin friday night syndrome. apart from the design floor in the rear diff case i think i was pretty lucky with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
