don't think there are any (yet) but it's smaller then Cen Reeper so if you check comparison between Cen and X-maxx on YT it should give you some perspective

Kinda knew it wasn't a direct competitor, but I'm hopeful someone will step up to the plate. 

 

The CEN offering is good, but has little availability or support over here. 

another overview

 

 

some good info in this, looks like it comes with grease and very thin shock oil. i normally got with 500k in centre and 600cst in the shocks, i think on somthing this big i might consder going higher though   

Werner can be relied upon - he's been a really helpful guy in the MTe community.  I'm still not at all sold on this myself.

Yes and he absolutely beats everything into submission, so if he hasnt broken it, its probably pretty strong,  cant wait to see a full running video from him.  

The wheelbase on that body shell  is unforgivable IMO

 

 

Now I’ve moved some stuff on including my MT410 and raised some cash this is getting very tempting the more I see it 🥴 Thing is I’m meant to be cutting back not buying more 🤣🤣

I want it, I think. Could sell my DBXL to put funds towards it.....

😶

 

Yeah, the wheelbase on the shell is tack,  But wont matter after a few bad landings. 😁

Cen reeper body could fit but not sure about front/rear bumper distance from the chassis, might need slight modification

No point going above 500k, even if you lock it those tires would balloon, foam is soft and tires as well...

and that means you have one on order? 😀

no, they wont be half as bad at the front if you locked it, you can clearly see its power bleed by the way its wheelieing. 

Werner finally managed to brake it, couple more vids on YT

It’s a beast 

 

 

 

seriously got to stop looking at this brings back great memories of my old Hobao hyper mte 😀

 

those poor diffs XD 

just seems to handle like a savy xl to me lol

The body is like that to probably make sure it doesn't get cracked on hard tail landings

 

I wonder what other bodies would fit that would at least look a little less cack

Definitely has a whiff of savage about it

I've still got it.

 

Would be good to see other shells on it. Got a Summit shell on my MTE at the mo

A lot of the websites have the dimensions converted wrong...

Looks like no one reads through it before C&Ping it.

 

Modelsport, Wheelspin and CML

 

I'd be pretty furious if it turned up and wasn't 275 inches long.  🤣

 

Quote

Length : 700mm / 275.6 inches ( included Wheelie Bar )

Width : 510mm / 200.8 inches

Height : 280mm / 110.2 inches

 

[EDIT] looks like it was mentioned a while go on here too.

after few test runs
