Ofna LX2e From Start 2 Finish
Well i ordered my LX2e last week and got it Wednesday
Chassis
Manual, Decals sheets, and Parts that comes with it [note: the little silver cross wrench Did Not come with it, it's a Traxxas one that i had]
The Tires (which are very similar the the Pro-Line Holeshot tires) and the white dished wheels that come with it (Pre glued)
And as you can see it comes with a clear body with a white wing that can be dyed a dif color but i left it white. That's about all for what's in the box! As you see in the one pic that it's pretty much just the chassis, the battery tray and receiver box, servo mounts, are all in a bag in the box. The Reason they do that is actually because it's easier to mount the servo/ESC/Receiver and motor with it all off! You mount the ESC on the battery tray, then the ESC wire that runs to the receiver clips to the underside of the battery tray and then up through this little wire holder over the Servo mount and then into the radio box. So like i said it's easier to wait until you have everything even though it kills me too LOL
And today i ordered the motor: Tacon 2150kv. Some paint for the body, Diff oils, wire protecters, heat shrink , and some other stuff.
I have a HW Xerun ESC that i'm going to use with a Futaba Servo I already have also.
I will have more pics up as it comes along!

Very nice. I'm interested to hear what you have to say about it. Looks like a really well made platform. Are you going to race it or bash it... or both?

And I've heard many times about this Buggy is that for the price it's real good, mostly for bashing and decent for racing! Like just by looking at the buggy you can tell that (me being used to Mostly Traxxas parts and all) that the plastics on this thing are just so Beefy and stong looking (which the stength is going too be tested LOL) but just without a lot of the tunability that the higher end ones have. I haven't actually seen the higher end ones but i know this buggy still has a TON of tuning options. But, there is some things that are plastic on it that could/should be aluminum. Which there is upgrades to fix most of the weak spots. But all in all i love the thing, Haven't driven it yet but... LOL

Sounds good. Let me know if this is something I should grab in the future.

Yep tacon 2000kv motor and HW 150amp. I just can't toss $300 into a castle or tekin system or Orion sytem. I'm not trying to squeeze every ohm of performance out of it anyway... What diff oil are you going to run in your center diff after the grease that comes in it "expires" so to speak.

Sure looks a lot like the Thunder Tiger ST-1.
