Probably have it up and running by summer vacation I'm just dying to take my rc's to the new skatepark down the street there's a angled ramp at the end at it looks perfect for maximum air but now it's packed due to the novelty of having it waiting for it to clear up also what will be the speed of the xx once I put in The sidewinder combo?

I would think so, but I might be wrong...

Which motor does that come with? I am sure it would be fast!
If there is a motor choice, go with something on the lower Kv side (= lower power, 3800 or 4600 kv). Its a light buggy, don't need to go crazy on the power!

This is what the XX-T looks like:



It's your car, do what you like - but one of my great regrets was taking my XX buggy race car to the BMX track. In 23 years of racing, I only did it once; in retrospect, that was absolutely the wrong car to do it with. Far too fragile, especially with the graphite parts on it.

The first part you're going to break is that plate that mounts the trans to the chassis. Hinge pins bend super easy too.

Guess skatepark duty will go to my MERV VXL where can I get the body for the XX-T I like it more than the buggy body or will any stadium truck buggy fit?

Got me, I got that one in 1995. Even the dust is vintage.
