The new cx2 comes with 2.4ghz spread spectrum technology, and a really nice looking body. Someone else may know of some other tweeked differences.

I had the old CX and it was a horrible experience, I hope this new one flies as good as it looks.

i might be wrong, but it seems to me that all that's different from a cx than a cx2 is the radio and the body, and maybe the 4in1? so the frame is the same, the head is the same, the servos are the same... and i doubt they'll give you the full spectrum radio.

Sorry if I confused you, I didn't mean you get the nice Spectrum radio. I meant that the radio is based off of that technology (2.4ghz DSM technology). I got this from Horizon's website:

"Interference-free 5-channel E-flite transmitter with built-in Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM technology"

Im offended by this post. You must live at a lower altitude than me. :P
Or your tellin me that im bad at fixin it.... [sm=lol.gif] jk man


Personaly i was awestruck and drooling when i saw that radio (because of the trainer cord and awesome apearance)
Think its possible to get the body, servos, and radio for it?

You probably could direct from Horizon, but by the time you bought all of that, you could have bought a complete package cheaper than just what you are wanting.

Your $20,000 car has about $80,000 worth of parts if you add it all up.
