Status: offline 		A friend of mine just got one off ebay and is wondering if anyony else has one. If so what r your thoughts on it? (like, hate, what breaks on it. ect...) He likes it alot, plus he didn't pay big $$$$$. It looks like the 5b and the Imax, but comes a red body and pull start is on the other side. Thanks

Status: offline 		My brother bought one a few weeks back off Ebay NIB the motor was a pain to tune and keep running. Havent broken any parts yet since the motor wont run right I on the other hand bought a Baja. If you want a good rc you just have to pay for it. I hope he doesnt have the same motor probs as my brother has been having.

He is selling his XRC crap and going to get an SS kit. Might want to consider changing out the motors and replacing it with a motor from DDM or even a stock 23cc or 26 fuelie from an Hpi Baja..

Otherwise its just a cheap copy of the HPI Baja if you ask me

Status: offline 		XRC is not a copy of the baja, you cant use baja parts on the XRC.... king motors is the baja copy ...100% innerchangeable about the same price too as a XRC too

Status: offline 		Thanks guys for your input. So far my friend's started right up and idled nice. (I was there when he started. It was sweet) It was a little boggy at first but with a couple turns of a screw driver it tuned right up. But my buddy is a pro when it come to tuning nitro and 2 stroke's, so I'm sure that help alittle. Thanks again guys.

Status: offline 		I have several and i really have had a blast with mine the carbs are set way off from the factory and the best thing to do is add a boost bottle for around 20 $ on evil bay you can get one I put a tuned pipe on mine and front brakes with a little porting and constantly beat my friends HPI Baja and he has the 27 cc motor I have had great luck with it as long as you get rid of the cheap gears and i went the expensive route and got mine from F&G was around 160$ for the metal gears and the hub am waiting on NOS now as i have the Baja version well i have 4 now and these are not copys of the baja as everyone says they are totally different its just a matter of getting it set up right and they are a very inexpensive alternative to the baja my friend has gone through 3 differentels and ive yet to break anything just get it tuned right and they are a blast as i have different gear ratios and tires so I have tried everything The first thing i upgraded was the pullstart got a Zenoh and it was worth the 27$ They are a fun car and wery easy to work on any advice needed i will gladly help with the parts that interchange

Status: offline 		I also have got XRC car, which is much powerful than the old one from my friend. The engine is 19000rpm.The max speed is about 80km/h. The new vision improved the rear suspension arm, also the front wheel hub. and the steering servos is better too.
I heard they will producing the steel parts for this XRC car. Then it will be good, I can not broken my car easily with the steel parts at that time.
