RE: Is the xt2 a good buggy?
I got mine last month and love it. It's built pretty tough but does weigh about a pound more than other rtr buggies in the same price range. I got the so called track edition with a .21 instead of a 24.7. Mine is pretty fast though. Drove it down the street from a friends car and clocked it at about forty mph, maybe a little better. I'm new to this and went as cheap as possible with my first nitro buggy to see if I liked it. The XTM XT2 is ten times better then my first car. I actually got to see one in a store so I wasn't too worried about ordering it online. The one thing that bothers me is parts availability. The shop that I saw the car at didn't really even stock parts. Hobbypeople, Globalhobby or Ebay. These are the only places (that I've found) to have parts and I think Globalhobby is just the distr. Nonetheless, I justed finished my first gallon of fuel. No problems so far. For a couple hundred bucks you can't go wrong. This bug is a lot of fun!
