Woolie1975

Mega Booster bodyshell painted and mounted. Motor and ESC installed. I just need to mod the steering a bit as the turning radius isn't the best. I think some bent rod ends should do the trick. Other than that I am very happy with how it turned out. Despite being an older platform the X2 is as light as other modern day competition truggies. I'm certain that it will still be competitive on the track too.

I now have a roller. Just the electronics to fit and a shell to paint.

Hong Nor still make the X2 CRT, albeit in a slightly different guise. They now call it the "Mega Booster" and parts are readily available, even the options. I sourced my parts from "Gruber Racing" in Germany, which happens to be where I am currently based. The bumper, sliding motor mount and diff tower all came from "Oktays Bumper" again in Germany . Oktay makes CNC and Carbon parts for RC Basher type cars. He is a one man show and you would need to search Facebook to find him. I also picked up an Innovative RC lightened and extended CRT X1 chassis, The plan was to fit this before I realised that I would need X1 CRT chassis braces as the X2 ones I had were too short. Here are a couple of pics of my HN X3S EVO..

Coming along nicely. Just got to deal with a stripped screw (diff housing) and a stripped grub screw (hex) and then i'll have a roller. Undecided about the motor - weighing up between a castle 1515 and a Tekin 2000. ....

Thought I'd resurrect this thread. I bought an old brushless X2 CRT Pro that had been sitting in a shed for 5 years, possibly longer. It is missing a shell and the electronics, and at first glance it looked in good shape but unfortunately the chassis is bent, by the looks of it something has fallen on it. So I had a look around and decided,based on cost and weight, to order an I-RC chassis for it. Now I hope I didn't jump the gun, but I'm presuming/hoping that it'll be a straight swap over and that no further mods will be needed to get it and the existing parts to fit ?!?!? In addition to the chassis I have also ordered a new shell (the one from the Hong Nor Mega Booster is a direct fit) along with a few spares, arms, a cnc sliding motor mount and centre diff holder. The Mega Booster BTW is built on the CRT X2 platform, only the body and hex entenders are different. Full spares support is now available on the continents from Hong Nor stockists. I want to run it at my local track and therefore plan on putting a Tekin unit n it. I'll put some pics up of he rebuild as things progress. Here are some pics of the motor mount and diff holder that I bought.

I love digging up old threads 🙂 Are Innovative RC still in business? I would love a set of these towers and a chassis for my old CRT X2.

Just received my MT4x4. I wanted to put a Castle 2200kv and Monster X in there but it was out of stock so I instead ordered a Tekin 1900 and RX4 which is currently on its way over from HK. In the meantime i want to oil the diffs. Any suggestions as to which oil weights would be best suited for 4s ? Cheers...

Im looking at getting either a Team Magic E5 HX ARR or the Pro Line 4x4. Has anyone here made experiences with both trucks ? I'm interested in knowing which of the 2 models is tougher and which has the better parts support in Europe. RC Mart have the ProLine for just €250 - which is a bargain. Furthermore, whats the best combi to go for 550 or 1:8 ?
