RE: X2 Build Up W/ Pics, 56K Warning, Complete Build Info W/ Detailed Pics
Thanks Guys.

JoyDude has seen it, and he'll vouge on how amazing it looks.
Simple, Florucent Green, carefully sprayed along with Black.
Damn this thing looks good.!
I know gloating is a bad thing
X2 FTW.!

Thanks.
Some more pics..
Brakes show no fading after about a gallon, still going strong
Some more body pics
So damn easy to clean, I love how the fuel tank is just held on by 2 body clips.
The Linage Brace I was talking about
Cleant her up real good yesterday for tomorrows race
JP 4 Burnt my fuel tank [:@]
Otherwise, everything looking good.

It looks way easy to clean. I like that the fuel tank is clipped in. I also like the small cups on the bottom side of the brake disc's. That's different, I can see where that would help in the braking consistency department. Looks like it's worth the wait. lol Qaiz, can you take some pics of the radio box and the internals.

Thanks Qaiz!!! Didn't realize they changed them that much. What's that battery you got there? Size, Specs, and so on...? I'm still looking for a center diff assembly from an X2 to try to put on my X1. Had no luck yet, they are still to new. lol Keep us posted on the success you have with your new truggy. How do you pronounce your RCU name?

No problem, at the moment got a 5 Cell 2500MaH Custom Energizer Pack. No idea about the dimensions, but gonna ditch it for a LiPo as soon as they come back in stock at the LHS...

Did I read somewhere that they are using spring steel in the drive shafts and turn buckles?

@ ecocav04
True, fits all RX Packs without a hassle. Always loved that about Jammin..
@ Supertib
XZ's got a lotta bang in it LOL. Its much smoother compared to the Picco, but Im gonna throw a .21 in there soon and run it. It ran like a dream with the JP B7T in it, so much more controllable.
No offical weight, but its MUCH MUCH MUCH lighter. I did manage to compare it to a TT ST1 Pro someone was running the other day, it feels MUCH lighter and MUCH easier to drive. The owner of the ST1's jumping on the X2 bandwagon soon.
Its got a kinda finesse to it, its extremely planted, yet needs that " Fine Tuning " in the corners, I love that, you go in at any speed, mess up, have time to correct your mistake, and come out looking like a hero.
@ Phat
Might be, how would I identify if its using Spring Steel. Is there any test or anything LOL..
Did the first batch of UpGrades today, picked up the new " Light Weight " Spur gear, and re-built the center diff. And changed the O Ring in the Shocks, were starting to wear for some absurd reason.
Will get pics up.

Well Hong Nor ( Jammin ) made good on their X2...
The O Rings in the Shocks of all the X2's that were in stock at the LHS were wearing abnormally fast. No idea why, they just were.
They sent us a complete new set. Damn good service IMO.
For now, Lightened Spur Gear, and the New Shock O Rings.
Also picked up the CNC radio tray posts and wing stay posts, will install them later tonighte.
Im absoloutely amazed by the brakes this thing has, insanely powerfull, but dosent lock up all 4. My damn buggy cant stop this well.!
Also made the switch to LiPo for the RX pack today, SO MUCH LIGHTER.!
Now only thing im confused is how much foam to use LOL, dont want it bouncing around all over.!
Well few pics for now..
New Spur
Old Spur
My brakes
And last, the O rings
They were COMPLETELY worn [X(]
Also they've moved off that horrible purple packaging LOL
Looks so much better now.!

The shafts are made from 4130 and will cost you a small fortune to replace when the time comes.
Retail on the F/R shafts is $75.00
Amain wants $61.99

RE: X2 Build Up W/ Pics, 56K Warning, Complete Build Info W/ Detailed Pics
Alright found it.
Looks to be good LOL
AISI 4130 is a low alloy steel containing molybdenum and chromium as strengthening agents. The carbon content is nominally 0.30% and with this relatively low carbon content the alloy is excellent from the fusion weldability standpoint. The alloy can be hardened by heat treatment
Typical applications for 4130 low alloy steel include. structural use such as aircraft engine mounts and welded tubing applications.
Physical Data : [top]
Density (lb / cu. in.) 0.283
Specific Gravity 7.8
Specific Heat (Btu/lb/Deg F - [32-212 Deg F]) 0.114
Melting Point (Deg F) 2610
Thermal Conductivity 22.3
Mean Coeff Thermal Expansion 7
Modulus of Elasticity Tension 29
Info off http://www.suppliersonline.com/prope.../4130.asp#Spec
Seems like its a good grade of metal to me...
