Hello everyone. I just purchased an Ofna Jammin X1X from Tower Hobbies for $309 shipped. This is my first nitro RC. I havn't owned a RC vehicle for quite a few years and have always wanted a nitro buggy. I don't intend to race with this. Mainly just bashing around town. I started looking at the low-end RC's, and from what I've read on this and other forums, you really shouldn't go that route. I was originally going to get a Hyper 7 TQ, but apparently it's outdated and the X1X has more current design. I have also read about how the chassis can be warped with heavy jumping, and I am buying Ofna parts OFN40579 and OFN40578. Is this a decent vehicle for starters at a decent price? And, any tips for a RC nub?
Thanks
good vehicle easy to tune engine, and if parts break you can replace most of them with X2 parts if they break or so I'm told (not broke anything on mine but haven't ran it no where near much as I would like due to bad weather on my days off). I've not broke a part on mine. And yest those 2 braces are a must if your going to be jumping from what I was told by people who owned and own the buggy.
only thing buy a metal geared steering servo theres a few different recommendations on the board the stock one SUCKS, and seeing you are going to have to take a few parts off to put on the braces might as well swap out the servo at the same time. I use a hitec 645MG servo that I got for $28 shipped off ebay (they go for $35+shipping on amain, and most other hobby sites). In al honesty I doubt the stock servo would last a full gallon of nitro without crapping out.
