I guess you could say it is from scratch. All the parts are for the XTM Rail and have come from a chop shop on ebay. Some of them partially assembled. Like the bellcrank was already put together and the side rails were screwed to the chassis when it arrived.

Well who ever said this hobby teaches patience was wrong or maybe I just haven't been patient enough and it will come to me. I went all out on the last round of auctions. Probably would of ended up a bit cheaper if I would of spread the part out a couple auctions. As it was I have around 240 in parts and with the discounted shipping 50 dollars in shipping fees. Still need the tires and a body for it though.

You! Was it you that got my tires and body last week? lol If you don't bid on the tires this round I wont bid on anything else (except the body). Same for anyone else reading this thread. I am going for the tires and body this round 11/13/2010 (if you would be so kind as to not bid against me I will add more pictrures).
Having one chop shop has it draw backs. Been looking for another to come on board but only a couple of ebay shops are doing some BIN for a limited # of items.
Here's some more pics. Just snapped randomly when I remembered about taking then. It's going together pretty easy. Basic kind of setup. Need the manual just ot reference what size screw more then how it goes together. Just like other buggies. This one just has the side rails added to one of XTMs chassis. Everything looks decent so far. Nothing has really stood out as being a week part. Although the shock are smaller then the 8b shocks are. The way the motor mount is you basically have to removed the center differential and pull the whole motor mount out to adjust the gear spacing. Not a big deal if you get it spaced right and now what pinion you are going to run for sure.
I put some Losi buggy tires on it for now. I like the look of hte tires and rims that are suppose to come with the buggy. I will be trying to get a set of those to install. They also have some paddles for this but I can't find any in stock anywhere. Not a lot of people carry XTM stuff. Looks like you have to do most of you parts.upgrades though a site called Globalservices. This is my first XTM so my experience with them is limited. More photo in the photobucket link.
