Yes, the X would really crawl well with electric power.

I was going to see how I could drop an E-Maxx twin motor setup into my X2. The X is pretty heavy, one 550 might not be enough...

If you figure a new E-maxx at $295, take out what you need (motors, tranny, EVX), and sell the rest as a roller, the conversion should come out at around $200. The advantage is that you're getting a two speed transmission that's geared for electric power - the X is geared for nitro engines.

XTM should listen up. An E-XFactor would, IMO, be a profitable addition to their product line.
