i managed to snag a nice, lightly used crt x2 off of another forum for a decent price. i will not say the price, but i did not pay as much as he was asking.
the only upgrade is a set of kingheadz chassis braces. it will be here on thursday. it is coming with 3 bodies, the spare rims in the picture, and the crimefighters in the picture.
i already ordered a rc-m motor mount and 15t pinion. i'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to mount the battery/batteries. i might just try to modify my home/made battery tray that came with the buggy i bought from jason. it isn't half bad for home-made and it simple and quick to use. i will be using a castle/neu 2200kv motor. i was planning on using a bidmotor motor, but my savage flux's motor rarely breaks 100-120F and has crazy power, so i will just shell out the $130-140 for a cc/neu 2200kv.
if there are any upgrades or suggestions/modifications that this truggy needs to race and/or bash good, post them here.
