Like the cooling head, like the laydown servo, like the body and I love those integrated front/rear diff braces. I also like the position of the gas tank.

I like the adjustable turnbuckles and tie rods. I pretty much like it all! I might get the pro when it comes out. XTM/Global is a good company with good products. I had an original XTM Xterminator a few years back. It was a good buggy, with only that rear diff issue that really hurt it.

I hope Jconcepts or Pro-line makes a body for it, it sucks to mod them and cut them up.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

with all the new trends of putting all the mass at the center of the car, this just looks odd to me, But I guess its a budget buggy.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Budget buggy? hehe not the pro kit ;) well its still a budget buggy but at a pro quality [>:]

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Thanks KEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 speed? Guess not.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

I am sure they will make a 2 speed if the original 2 speed conversion doesn't work...

Of course, I NEVER understood why a buggy needs 2 speeds personally. Things are little land missles stock with a single speed. To me, anything over 40-45MPH is just unneccessary.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Good point. I was out bashing last night and one guy had a two speed buggy. Talk about INSANE.

We were five monster trucks and one buggy. That buggy didn't need that second speed but needless to say, it has GNARLY!!!!!!

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

It's for speed loving people like me. It's also appealing for some noobs, because they like the extra speed.

I don't like the position of the front body mount, because where it mounts on the body, that part sometimes rips off, and then it is unsecured, and it will fly up, secured only by the rear body mounts.

But other than that, I like it. I enjoy the separate battery and receiver box, makes it less crowded in the box.

Rustler 08/MM, you dont have any experience with XTM to be giving negative comments or advice towards... so why post it?

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Who are you talking to?

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Looks like a pretty good improvement over the original.. doesnt have the big goofy radio tray, battery is secured with clips instead of a molded plastic latch (that opens too easily). Hope they fixed that rear diff case issue, i used to break them all the time. The pro version of it will probably be pretty good

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

The two box set-up is no good. You have more exposed wires....a critcal wire ....the battery wire.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Kemo, I have ripped the front part of the body off before, and it will happen to every buggy. I'm just saying that with that body mounting style, if the front part is ripped off, which will happen, then there is nothing securing the front part of the body down

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

dude . the xt2 is pretty awesome . im not so sure about that body though . kinda funky in my opinion but that's just me . i might have to buy one .

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

I have the G.V Rex-X pro, which is the same car as the XT2, and my ones real good, i also cant say much about that body, its rough but the Rex-X comes with a better one.


..........TURNELL..........

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

the buggy has "potential", just needs people to get it there.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

It dosen't have potential it has potential to have a potential. XTM should sign a racer to design the buggy but still make it the best basher too, like a savage/CRT. Its already strong and fast, just needs to be more innovative.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

XTM does have a site coming soon... www.teamxtm.com i believe. Something could be brewing as we speak.

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Why is the site not up? Where did you get the link?

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Scroll up and look at the addy on the wing of the new xterminator ;)

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

hey turnell . if you don't mind can you post some pictures of your buggy?

RE: XT2(X-Terminator 2)
 

Oh, Im the guy who misses all that stuff. I looked at a pic of a GT and didn't realize the whole tranny was missing. Stupid me.[:'(]
