We are not certain at this time. The protos all will be AE V2s, because that's what we have on the full X - 6 Sq Kit, we've got them in stock, and at a decent price for volume purchase.

very true on that 
Congrats on getting the Prototype rolling on its own I know both you Chazz and Paul have been working hard on this thing since the DC of the X-5 (a great buggy conversion on its own)
is it running Metric or are you guys sticking with Standard hardware?

We are citizens of the United States. U.S. hardware purchased from a U.S. supplier. (I think the bolts are actually made in Taiwan, which is different from China.) Plastic molds made in the U.S. and parts then produced in the U.S. CF sheets made in the U.S. and cut by a U.S. machine shop.
There is a big American flag prominently displayed in our shop with a certificate showing that the flag flew on a combat mission over Baghdad. Thanks to Family member Kory Ferguson, the USAF tail gunner.

The X7 was a fun car to work on, extremely easy. As for the brittle front A arms, we used Losi XX4 arms, spindles and carriers. So most of the parts that broke were production Losi parts, not anything hand made. The only hand made part that broke was a front shock tower that didn't mesh well with a metal fence!
The car drove well, but needs some refinements. The push you guys see in the video was when the steering rack screw backed out, giving us about 40% throw to either side, not ideal! I think this car and the fresh ideas it has will spark the 4x4 market again, and will mos tlikely have a few parts copied by other companies. The ideas are that good. IF anyone has any questions, let me know and I'll answer them, if I can.
