Jimmy, and anyone else who runs an X5, the kit/conversion seems to need a LOT of hand-work to convert an existing XX4 (cutting, grinding, hand-fitting, etc.). I know what the owners of the cars say about them on the track, but it sounds like it's almost a scratch-built car pieced together, and certainly not for someone willing to really massage the car together.

Propeganda aside, is it worth it? The price tag + the custom fitting + an existing car to convert + changing all of your battery layouts, and then you still have ESC fit issues and odd things like the battery straps to deal with, is it worth the massive cost and effort to build an X5?
