And annie_himself knows what he's talking about...................thats the best you can do for $140.00...........course Annie got gray hair from having an X-c so long.............LOL..........good luck and thanks Annie

RCUSEE

would the associated interceptor t4 body also fit ? without mods ?

rclynx

Would be pretty close because its near the same size, but I have never tried it......................very seldom does a body other than stock fit without mods and I haven't found a stock body from any other car thats even close to the X-c[&o] other than size

RCUSEE

well from the looks of it, i would say its a perfect fit. One is about 21€. If i get one i will tell you how it worked out.

rclynx

Thanks RCUSEE I appreciate it.[&o]

rclynx got a question do u know if any one makes a stronger rear hub then the stock plastic ones? i know they have aluminum ones but sometimes they arnt that strong let me know what you got and pm me some prices if you got those thanks alot.

annie_himself

Thanks. My XC is almost 2 years old, still a virgin. Luck, this truck don't need no stankin' luck!

Rhino-the aluminum ones from XTM are the only ones. You must have bad luck or suck at driving to break them. I have the aluminum ones and they hold up fine.

rhino420

naw i only have had the plastics ones havent gotten the aluminum ones i was wondering if they are stronger and yea i do suck at driving but i have fun and i dont mind spending money on parts cause " im rich *****!!" ha ha well thanks for the info annie

annie_himself

No problem.

well this weekend im going up to san luis obispo and im gonna be taken my xcell to the beach up there im guessing my stock tires are gonna suck in the sand. or am i wrong i was thinking of going and to my lhs to get these tires
http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/726470.asp
what do u guys think ? or should i be fine with my stock tires? also a noob question do i need to do anything special taken my truck in the sand ? anywho let me know if any of u guys taken your xcell to the sand or beach . thanks in advance and remember " Now u know and knowing is half the batttle"

rclynx

That will help you hook up in the soft stuff but if you get down by the wet hard stuff your stock tires are just fine.............make sure the filters are clean and oiled.[sm=thumbup.gif] To much of the soft stuff will cause gear wear[sm=punching.gif] (exposed gears get sand in them)and when your done I hope your ready to do a complete tear down to get all the sand out and you wanted to be an RCer

rhino420

dam you would recommend a tear down dam! maybe i might take my rustler out there instead haha cuase i dont want to do a tear down ill end up with extra parts and all that jazz haha hey if hear u can put after run oil to oil up your filter is that true? hmm know u got me thinking if i want to do all that for two hrs of fun haha

rclynx

One of my customers took his LST to the sand dunes out by Fort Ord and it cost him gears and a tear down............about $188.00 that included Titanium gears and one CV shaft but still all in all I wouldn't advise running an exposed gear set up in soft sand.................take it and run in the hard sand not so bad[&o]

RCUSEE

dont run your car at the beach... to 99,99 percent something wont work afterwards

rammol

i took my savage to huntington beach, ca, ran it and was having so much fun, then a lifeguard or something shows up on an atv and says"no motorized vehicles" i was what are you riding right now not literally didnt want to cause any problems. but after going back home and looking at the savage all i did was air blow it, and wd-40 it and ran it afterwards and ran perfect.

rclynx

Savage has covered gears doesn't it?[&o]

rhino420

wow yea i dont want to mess it up any worse then i already do haha thanks again for all your guys help once again !!! dam pretty soon ill be able to help some one haha so the rustler is making the trip instead ! thanks

RTB

so i got all my gear problems worked out... gave up onthe losi gear swap for now... just opted for a smaller rear tire instead...
same lower gear effect i was looking for..
i can almost drift the car on pavement with street tires now..
now i broke the pull start for the last time... there isnt enough of the spool left to tie a new string of onj...
so whatr easy start is a direct bolt on? with no mods all!!
or if it needs mods please list all parts i would need... lol
thanks everyone i need the help...

rclynx

Use the XTM sure start...........its made for it..................don't get a cheap battery it runs down to fast........if you want more info pm me I have them in stock[:-]

rhino420

i use the roto start becuase the guys at my lhs said dont get the sure start. i have had problems with the roto start since day one finally got it dialed in but i would go with what rclynx says he seems to know what hes talkn about haha btw anyone wanna buy a roto start so i can get a xtm sure start haha.

RTB

ok well i will go to my lhs on payday and see if the can get me the sure start.. they actually seem to carry a lot of parts foor the x-cell..

rclynx

Just be sure not to buy a cheap battery[] be sure and get a 2000 + MaH

RCUSEE

well t4 doesnt fit... too bad

i was wondering how much hp the stock x-cell has, cause mine has 2.2 stock. its the same car distributed by carson with another engine.

rclynx

I don't really know for sure what the HP is on the RTR X-c, I can tell you this[8D]its as fast as any of the other serious ST's out there. The GT2 or XXX have nothing on the X-c accept a bigger name. Takes more to set up the X-c to race but the price is 30% less than either of those mentioned. The same engine in the SH engine model is rated I think at 1.8 HP............I don't put much water in any of the ratings because there are only 2 or 3 .18 mills that blow away the rest but there not 3 port engines[&o]

Oh and thanks for the heads up on the T4 body M8.............I just put on a crowd pleaser GT2 body with just very little modification[:-]

RCUSEE

well the x-cell is a hell of a car+ i added a metalgear extrastrong servo for steering-> a must have. Too bad i cant get a rc10gt2 or proline gt2 body :/. Instead of the ae body i will order a x-cell clear body paint it from the inside which will be alot better(than from the outside) and give it that "racecut"

i made some pics of my x-cell and my bashshell("racecut") , only thing missing atm is the pipemount
... im not sure about the pipe, anyone added another and recognized improvements ?
