whats rally x? is it like U.S. GTe (shaft drive 1/8th onroad) or onroad with jumps ?

.AJ.

Its what we call 1/8th off road buggys in the UK lol

sorry LOL

it doesnt need much, i would say the new springs sets red and blue,alum servo horn,rear alum hubs .....and pinions for gearing depending on Motor/ESC you run


as for spare's only thing I broke was a rear body mount and im including my whole summer running the Nitro version..I did bend the heck out of a front drive shaft but lets just say totally my fault becase it should of broke my whole front end LOL it was quite basher like

build tips: Locktite the inner link lock nuts that connect to the shock tower, scuff up the motor mount cam and inside the mount with sand paper a little helps hold the motor in place you cant see the inside of it anyhow and a smooth anodized finish is slick (old TC trick)
and i added 2.5 cap head screws to the center diff mount (carbon fiber X) so i could locktite those screws and get them out without stripping them

if you want more front droop i used longer shock ends(only adds 5-7mm) instead of optional shafts that some have mentioned so your not ramming the piston up into the bladder..with still plently of up-travel on front arm/shock

good part is the rest of the parts tree is the same as the X3

In looking at this car it appears to share alot of parts with the jammin x1 and x2 buggies. is this correct?

.AJ.

I think the only common parts are the shock bodies pretty much
