Never seen one in person but it looks nice and comes with a really nice motor as well. Has a more dated chassis setup but the cantilever suspension setup is very cool. Would like to get one of these trucks down the road.

Thanks. That was pretty cool. It did wheelies very easy and was jumped better than expected. XTM had some nice vids.
I think you will be happy with your X-Factor. I think after I have my Terra Crusher for a few months I will look into getting a X-Factor. The Monster truck bug has hit me. Not that I need two but what the heck.

I had one, Notice had one!! Not too bad for a bashing type truck, Good motor and strong. Well built, but there are downfalls as well. Suspension is not good on a track or good for anything. Taking the sway bars off, make it have tremenious travel, but does not handle well, leaving them on makes it turn over easy. The muffler, might as well buy another one asap. you will break it. I ended up making one from copper pipe. Again not bad if you just bashing and nothing else. Racing don't bother

Well I finally got it! My only complaint is I hate the R box, If you move the throttle control on the controller you have to unscrew the reciever box and reset the R box before it will work again. The motor is killer. I have the second generation so I shouldnt have the diff problems like every one else. I already have some blue aluminum parts coming but I cant find the Wheelie bar any where. It needs it, everytime the throttle is pulled the front comes of the ground! Very cool. This is a must have truck guys!

Does XTM make hopups for your new truck? If not who's alum. stuff did you order for your new truck?
Glad to see you like your new X-Factor. It looks very cool and wheelies are fun to do.

The parts are coming from Hobby people, The skid plate, gear box sets and link rod sets and wheel hubs all Aluminum. Also I ordered the front bumper, all of these parts are Blue. They also make the conversion so you can add 4 more shocks but I cant find them anywhere. If anyone knows where I can find the wheelie bar please let me know.

I thought I saw a wheelie bar on the GlobalHobby website or at least a listing for one.
Man your truck is going to be killer looking with that new stuff on their. Hope to see some pics when done.
