Very nice, i wish out local track was that big. We have to run or 1/8 buggies on the 1/10 track. You cant really get any speed on our small track.

Review on my Jammin X2 truggy

I have been racing a Jammin X1 truggy for 3 years and must say that its an awesome truck. I remember when the X1 CRT was top dog nothing could touch me on the track. The day the firt Mugen trucks came on the scene I thought wow these trucks seem like buggies they were just awesome. eating up the track. I had a hard time beating the new truggies on the market. They were just better than the X1 CRT. I really had to push jard to get to stay in front. The X1 truggy just seemed docile and heavy. You coudnt really do what you wanted, you had to nurse it and drive with skill.

Now for the X2:
I got my kit on Friday and immediately started with the build.

The build was easy as I have built many X1's and X1X's.
What I can say is the plastics is alot harder. Its noticably harder. The car went together easy.

The main changes are:
on the diffs the pinion and diff crown wheels spiral cut and finer.
The harder plastics
the low centre of gravity, small spur gear.
chassis is narrower and weight shifted to front and narrower.
the side gaurds, fuel tank is narrower and new fuel line layout works awesome.
The body is harder, thicker plastic and longer as is the chassis.


With all this changes I tought this truck is completely different.

Testing:

Yesterday at the track I took the X2 and coudnt wait for a test run.

First impression was WOW. "Tame the Beast, Tame the beast" was my thoughts for nthe first 4 laps.

This is a new truck IMO. A new era in truggy racing has started.

This truck is not like the X1 it behaves totally diferent. It accelerated and drives like a buggy. Awesome acceleration and handling. The truck is responsive and agile and a beast on the track. The new low profile wheels is just doing the job. I enjoyed the truck so much that I decided to remove the Jammin 21 to reinstall my OS Speed.
Check the pics.

I have just posted my first run out with the X2 on You Tube.

You need to an industrial size container of round up weed killer. That poor track is over grown. Looks like you are enjoying your new toy.

Weather has been very bad here. Stormy weather. I'll be changing the layout as soon as the weather clears.

Layout changed. My X2 deserves better layout.

Some more footage with the new layout. Taking my X2 Truggy through its paces. Jammin in the house!

Guys thanks for the nice words. Yes I can say its hard work. I am based at the track and have a guy employed to do the work on the track everyday. I don’t know if its done elsewhere. I am striving for the ultimate. At this time I am optimizing various areas. As you know a track is a work in progress. I am trying different types of clays as I see wear rates differ. I am currently reworking my main jump. The triple on the back straight. The track gets to be wet daily and rolled as required. This makes the surface bind and its just awesome to drive. The track has different clay types in areas on the track, making driving very challenging and enjoyable. Wear rate is extremely on cars, I have designed it so more racing can happen. To break your car should be difficult.
Anyways for International visitors feel free to contact me to race. Your visit on the house.
See ya!

Its been quite. Weve changed the track to a simpler design. Using it for 1/5th scale petrol cars as well.

Post up some pics of the new layout so we can all have a look. I'm in Capetown in Septemebr for 2 weeks vacation. Will def look you guys up. Where exactly are you??
