I am sure Rob or Darin will correct me if these are wrong. :)
 
Good, that will give people a few months of bashing/racing and reviews before I make a decision on the next 1/5 scale!


Still highly anticipating the arrival my first for now!

Well I can say that I have a very very early HSP version that doesn't have a single one of the Redcat upgrades on it and I'm still going strong. There are only three things I had to fix on it so far and two of those were not the car's fault. I ran into a guy on the track at fullspeed and ended up bustin a CVD pin which was simple. The other time I didn't tighten a wheelnut and stripped the square on the wheel hub. JB Weld and some pre run checking fixed that.


I don't run the stock transmission though so I eliminated alot of the gear/layshaft headache. The only problem I'm having now is dumb things like setscrews loosening which is my own fault. I've been taken the car apart at least a dozen times a week a few times I've pulled apart the center tranny a half dozen times in a day from testing. You can imagine what my locktite usage is.


In all honesty it's one of the best handling 1/5 scale out there. The MCD corners better once you get the limited slip diff upgrade (costs a left nut to get) but look at it's cost and it is much slower in the straights. I think I can out corner my MCD with the LSD once I tweak the suspension which I have not touched yet. A good steering servo would also help alot. With all the Redcat upgrades, I've heard through the grapevine, I have no doubt this car will be a beast on the track.


That's my 2 cents on the XT.
