great truggy. love mine, its box stock. not one single upgrade. very durable too and comes with some great bearing. i bought a bearing kit from a broken down X2 off ebay for back up and havent needed any so im using them on my HB D8T which i run now. still have the X2 CRT though. easy to setup also. i ran 7k front 10k center and 3k rear and 40wt in the shocks all the way around. works at every track i have been too. the only problem really is they use half offset wheels and most people run zero offset now. but to be completely honest with you the HB D8T blows the jammin away in almost every way, and its cheaper. i would take a look at the D8T before you buy. but the jammin is great too.
are you buying the pro kit or RTR? if RTR it will need the kits shock towers.
my rating on the kit from scale 1-10 is a 7.5-8.5 just depending on the track. and HB is a 11

As much as I like my ole Jammin truggys, I would
have to sugest that you buy something else.
Jammin Jay hasn't been able to keep up with
the times, as far as the 1/8 line up goes.
Instead, he has devoted what little talent
he has left as a designer, to building those
freakin flashlights on four wheels 1/10 SC trucks.

That is exactly why I stopped racing my jammin x2.. it would get updated then be outdated seemingly forever.. I switched to the HB D8T and an impressed with the entire package.. Part support and availability are much better. Its sad, the Jammin was very competitive for a while. However Jammin is into full scale racing right now.

It is a bomb-proof ride durability wise.
You would probably be forced to do a 0-offset mod setup to get some more steering out of the truck.
As others have said, Losi, Mugen, and HB all have better platforms right now and if I were buying a new ride I'd narrow it down to one of those 3 and pick based upon personal preference and local parts support from other racers.
Good luck.

I don't know about you guys but I just went back to running my X2 because I was waiting for my H9 chassis to come in. Dropped a Bulldog body on and runs killer, steering and handling is very good, I had guys ask me if was a new Jammin because it looked good into the corners and came off the jumps great, but I told it's just a Bulldog body on it. They said now way it looks longer but with the illusion of the body it looks way long. I wasn't a fan of the cab-forward bodies but lap times are better. Still the X2 pro with the half offset but will try extended hubs and 0 offset later but I'm having fun with the truck the way it is.

+1 on the set up , I have a couple pair of shocks I had taken to the track. One set with gray springs all the way around, with spring adjuster turned alomost to the bottoms on each end and they work well . but i also like the blue springs a little better and not so much preload .
