Thanks! I finally got the right size screws so I could secure the shocks better at the standoffs. The weird thing is that I looked at the Hyper 9 manual, and they don't even use any screws or nuts to secure the shocks at the top, they just pop them onto the standoffs and leave it like that. Wonder why they did that, they really think that's secure enough?

I don't see why not, the X2 chassis is very similar to the X1. You just need to flip the motor mount around so it replaces the forward center diff mount instead of the rear. There are plenty of holes in the chassis on both sides to put screws to secure the battery trays (also can put screws through the plastic mudguards.)

It might be worth noting that my center diff mount and motor mount sits on a small aluminum riser plate. I'm not sure if it's required for clearance, or just to cover the spur hole in the chassis to protect the spur and keep out dirt and debris. Arct1k put it on there, so maybe he can comment on it's purpose.

That stuff that looks like hair is from stupid dandelions everywhere in the park. Blew most of it out with compressed air but it is stubborn. Need to find a better bash spot.
