RE: XTM X-Factor
Excelent truck so far i have not come across any vids of the truck crawling and i have no way of transfering my vids onto the CPU but i just locked my diffs with jb weld and plan on crawling. However if you want to check things out go over to http://globa lservices.globalhobby.com/globalforum/viewforum.php?f=6 and talk to a member dirk digler he crawls his x-f in competition along with some other guys˙o

RE: XTM X-Factor
Not to change the subject but, a quick question for you X-Factor owners. Just how durable is this truck? I was thinking of building another Maxx just for bashing and playing around. I like the looks of the x-factor, just not sure on how it lasts through jumps and such.

the x-factor isnt really for jumping. i know its ironic that all real monster do is jump cars, but the axles arent good for it. real monsters do break almost every 2 or 3 runs. i just thought about that, anyone have a video of a real monster truck doing real off roading? or at least a big pick up?

RE: XTM X-Factor
yeah dirk is a great guy has been helping me alot with setting my x-f up for crawling. Any way the only reason the x-factor is no good for jumps is because the ball links on the front and rear don't handle well when it comes to non-flat landings. However it is a great bashing truck. wheelies on demand and it is pretty fast. more or less i have broken two parts one being a coupla ball ends (it comes with upgraded ones so you have a tone of extras) and i sheered a universal pin due to the power but thats an easy fix if you have a nail and a hack saw

RE: XTM X-Factor
Well poop, my bash sessions are all about jumping. Rock crawilng and popping wheelies are fun for a while, but big air is where its at. Thats the main reason I break my race truck so much.
