Status: offline 		well I've never had problems with any kyoshos nor have i heard bad things about them.. they were one of the first companies to come out with a "luxury touring car" for electric.. i remember back and that thing was beautiful.. jus bout everything they make is a work of art, even the megaforce..

Status: offline 		Well i can give you my thoughts on the X-Factor since i own one. I really do enjoy this truck, it is a great basher! The engine has loads of power and the suspension is great for going over obstacles. There are hop ups coming out by XTM. You can make it 4-wheel steering (which i did) that makes it even more fun to bash with. The X-Factor is alot bigger than it looks, it makes my Savage seem small. I know that there has been some problems with the X-Factor, such as the diffs ( i blew one up) , but what vehicle hasnt had a problem when new? I remember my Savage had problems like the uprights and the 2 speed screw. XTM has great customer service, they sent me 2 sets of diffs ( different type of metal, havent broke them) , and i had them in 2 days. Also, the X-Factor actually handles pretty good for a straight axle truck, it is alot more stable than people think. I havent driven my Savage in 5 weeks, the only ones that i want to drive are my X-Factor and my Storm buggy! Just my thoughts...whatever you decide on, enjoy it!

Status: offline 		for me the xtm looks like an electric truck converted to a nitro it looks weak..as from the owners of it they said its good ..why havent you come across with the savage tmaxx terra crusher or titan?or narrowed your choices already between the two?anyway whichever you get will give satisfaction coz they were built to be broken and hopped up
