I will be traveling with 2 of my hommies from the MSRA. They both run X-Ray but are pretty good guys!! LOL Yeti is right, we should have a JRXS.com get together. Even the guys who have moved on but still check in here to see what were up too should hang out as well.

You guys need to get Matt, Todd, Randy or J. in on it. Then, you will have a step up on the field.

I use servo savers on both of my JRXS's and have no issues what so ever. Whether it is needed or not is another story but you can use them.

Yea ... honesty I've used them on mine too... but I'd rather not have to dremel half my chassis away to use a standard jr servo ... yea you can get away with one of those small 1/12th scale savers but I just don't like the way they feel with the big foams.

The internal springs in the small servo savers can be uprated, but OHMIGOD is that process patience testing! You'll watch the spring take flight two dozen times before finally getting the servo back together again.

dude .. those small servo savers seriously ... "suck"

I dremeled the chassis ... and the face of the saver , to make my Kibmoro saver to fit ... but it does fit.. ( full size servo and full size Kim saver)

I'd just like a little more room from "losi" I think with the rear motor car this can easily be achived.

along with 2 piece bulkheads .... I know this is the norm ( i.e. tamiya, xray ) but it's "mad easy" to work on the car . and I think with a alum bulkhead design .... still keeeping the batts in the center, long diffs . We wouldn't have to chage much .... just the diff bulkheads.

Ive driven all 3 top tourers best would be ....... durabilty of the xray , smothness of the corally, cornerspeed of the losi.

If losi figures this out ..... watch the F out


corally is gonna be hard to beat ... damn that car is smoth ( arms are like wallmart dog biscuts though )

X ray T2 is tough as a pit bull .... ( finicky as a french poodle in Beverly hills) Seriusly ... ... you just wanna smack this car... but she finishes every race

Don- This is the kind of racer feedback that is important to Todd. He reads these threads and makes notes, as do other drivers, like myself, and forward them to Todd. And making suggestions and criticisms on features/aspects/loves/hates/etc while the car is still in development in the ideal time! So have at it!!!

The new outdrives that we have been running have not had many problems breaking at all. Arm strength will be there, as I havent seen anyone break the new EA3 material arms. The diffs on the prototype cars that we've been running are easier to get out, but hopefully they will get even easier for the production car

I just want mine anodized green!!!! Or I will settle for red, but green would kick butt!!! I am going to run the rear diff up and low tomorrow and report back tomorrow night.
