My XPro review
 

I've been racing 8th nitro for a few years, and recently bought an XPro to run occasionally. I've raced a couple of times and had a blast, now a few of my fellow nitro racers are thinking the Ansmann may not be the joke the thought it was when I got mine.

To try and sway them I've blogged a short review at http://mrmagoo-rc.blogspot.com/2011/...ro-review.html. Feel free to add your comments and let me know what you think!

That was a well written review, thanks.
I would agree with you on the manual!!
That was unfortunate with your screws stripping, although Ive never had a problem on the 3 kits Ive built. The pre tapping step is well worth the extra time, I run the tap just past 1/2 the length of the thread contact area, to let the screw have extra "bite".
You mentioned 1/8th nitro, you should have a look at the X8, the just released buggy from Ansmann/Team C. I just built mine and its going to be a winner!
