Well, the Nürnberg Toy Fair seems to be chock full of new goodies...(especially engines.. See the 5 new Novarossi 28's, which will supposedly be WAY cheaper than normal...)

Looks like they extended the TVP's a good bit behind the engines.. New tires look cool too... Supposedly new diffs too... Oh yeah - and a 3-speed...

Size comparison with normal X..

I would guess so.. They also unveiled the X at the Nürnberg toy show, and it was avaliable pretty soon afterwards...

There's so much new stuff coming out it's crazy...

That's great news Patrick!

Was that gunmetal-headed engine in the XL the new K5.9?

In my opinion, they should have figured out how to get that fuel tank in between the TVPs, either up front or in that new area behind the engine. Seems like they could have done it with that extra real estate. Truck keeps getting bigger with more power and they keep that same crappy tank design and setup.

Im really liking the new tires. They look like they will have all the grab that the bonz have but with more weight allowing you to get those backflips. Another thing im wondering is apart from the rear center dogbone and TVPs, is there anything else that is different that wouldnt be compatible with other models? Maybe the engine plate is longer or something like that...

That is SOOO ugly. They have completely changed the body, and it looks HORRIBLE compared to any of the older bodies, including the GT2 body and the GT1. And those wheels are also completely different from anything ever before. They are just plain ugly. And the extension in the rear on the truck is stupid too. It looks like they just forgot to install someting in that area. What a P.O.S. Thats all i can say.
