Just got an email saying they are shipping it out... :D to those on the email list
|
Mine should be here tomorrow. I'll post pics and do a comparison/writeup to see how you guys feel about it. They supposedly want our input for improvement on the Xmods. I'm sure they'll hear a lot of stuff they don't want to.

we get the beta models. |
Maybe I missed it, but what is the price point on these going to be?
|
$59.99 for the 1/24
$69.99 for the 1/16 |
So ten bucks inflation for what looks to be less quality.

xmods were $60 before they were disconitued |

So far:
Pros- Very responsive Good suspension geometry Range isn't terrible Cons- With the regular rear end and AA batteries, it's terribly slow When turning the wheels, lock to lock, the front lower A arms wiggle on the metal rods that hold them in place. I can see that wearing out Regular rear end doesn't have a differential, it's full time posi I'm afraid to jump anything with it, because the front and rear slide into the main chassis, and lock in with 4 screws. More to come this weekend. https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...14442096_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...88746328_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...58147328_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...23749539_n.jpg https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...55109790_n.jpg https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...03235573_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...15742218_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...47012488_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...94508252_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...39000809_n.jpg https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...09627080_n.jpg Video of running with the new motor, on a stand. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...8¬if_t=like Rear end breakdown: https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...04439812_n.jpg 370 size motor. https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/...75606395_n.jpg Rear gears.

Why would the gear it up so high? A bigger pinion and a smaller spur would add ATLEAST 50% more speed....
|
So, the spur gear is obviously waaay too big. AA battery pack and Losi Frenzy 370 motor:

What spur gear are you talking about?
