So how are the x2's holding up ?
I have that servo 2050D, is a beast, rock solid, when it arrived could not believe how heavy was the box. Replaced the throttle servo on the X2, during one of my runs the cylinder head plastic cover got loose and would only touch the throttle linkage at full throttle. So if doing a quick glance, everything looks fine, noob mistake, not to check WOT and verify the servo was moving freely. The servo was over-working whenever running the X2 all out. All of a sudden it started acting up as if it had ABS but at WOT, as if flickering. I thought was radio signal, battery, the kill switch acting up, it had me running around trying to figure that out. Man, we are talking about 2mm clearance of plastic cover would touch the throttle linkage at 100%, that cost $57.00 (a new servo). Cable cutters to chop off that extra piece of plastic, a 10 second fix, and would still have the original servo, it happens.
The X2 is finally running good, its a monster, jumps like a champ, and loud as it can be. Unfortunately since acquiring the KM Baja, its on the shelf and is only run to shake off the dust. The baja to me is more challenging (and reminds me of my first rc car (the RC10 gold pan), prefer the lightness, immediate response of the buggy, so easy to throw around, and although its the same engine, the baja sounds much better. No braggin or whatever, but when you see people driving off the road to pass by the field where I am driving it, and say, "so thats what I was hearing all along". At the other side there is a public park, people drive and slowly cruise by and check out the baja for a few minutes and roll along. Sometimes I stop, and ask them if its too loud, that I can move to another place, and people respond requesting to please continue driving it, and ask me if its ok to watch.
I still think that to really enjoy the X2 or the Losi 5ive, w/e, it needs a bigger engine, I am planning to do a complete tlc teardown, and may leave it on the shelf until it has a OBR, on the meantime the baja keeps me busy.
