Nice X2! I really like the X2. I have an X1 that's been upgraded. Let me know how that medusa runs. I was thinking of a 60mm 1300kv one on 6s lipo. I'm running a Monster max.

Bye

Will do cemetery gates once i get a esc to run .If you already have a MMM that is working the 1300kv Medusa sounds perfect for 6S , try it out .
You will probably have it running before i do.

Joe i'm waiting to see if i can fit the CR mount so i can take the bracing away .If it won't fit i will upgrade to the alloy F/R chassis braces .

Mine has been running for like 2 months already(X1)! I run it with a Neu 1515 1y on 4s with the monster max(case has been cut to allow a 40mm fan on top, not that it needs it, but the castle fans don't hold up) The monster has held up to many weekends of me beating on it(racing) and no problems(except fan), it is the V1 also and I'm not running a UBEC.

Received and R1 Pro so soldered a 35v cap to it along with an external bec hooked it all up and

Had the truggy running for 5 mins just to test out the R1 since it will be living in the buggy and i didn't want to push it too much in the truggy .

Ran great on 5s and only got two temp leds lit up , very smooth esc , should work great in the lighter buggy .Waiting on a hotwire so i can set the lvc for 5s .

Tempted to take the X2 to the track for a day of running with the R1 on the weekend ( not having run the X2 on a track is killing me ) but i'm a little scared for the little esc .
I know you guys have had great success with it in the buggies but don't know of anyone with it in a heavy truggy.
I'll just be patient with the X2 and wait for the MMM to arrive , shouldn't be too much longer .

You have to make 4 countersunk slots in the chassis for the mount and to allow gear mesh adjustment.

I just measured up drilled two holes ( make sure they are the right size for the screws ) were each slot starts and ends and then completed the slot with a dremel milling bit

Of course then i used a countersink bit . Dont forget though if using this mount you have to brace you centre diff somehow like i did .

Got a little present from Mike today

Needless to say i can now confirm for you guys that the CR buggy mount fits the X2
Just need to take the dremmel and put a notch in it were it sits on the center chassis brace for clearance .
You can see it in the pic .

Also Mikes mount is about 1mm taller than the stock diff mount so you just have to shim the top of the stock mount so the top diff plate sits square . Bearing carrier is spot on .

Now i have gotten rid of the centre diff braces i had to use on the Tekno mount, a lot cleaner looking

Also received my custom one piece battery trays , perfect .
They clear the diff nicely , sit on the mudguard spot on and best of all i can now use my Zippy packs along with the enerland cells .
After speaking to Jeff i also got the front wall of the tray machined thicker for those hard lawn dart accidents
