i went with an x2. got it from ebay for $490 shipped. if you look on ebay for mac hobbies or the x2's that cost $530 or best offer, that's the place. don't hesitate to make an offer and buy from them. the transaction went smooth! looking at the components, the truck looks awesome. my trucks not built yet but i'm switching from a 8ight-t so the x2 has some shoes to fill, but i'm sure it will more than be a great truggy.
