The parts between the 2 are interchangeable, but if you download the monkey / x2c manual you will see some part numbers are different even though the parts look identical (excluding the chassis, battery strap & shell which are different as the car has a different battery configuration, but the chassis will fit if you want a stick pack chassis) the rat/monkey parts are softer plastic, the X car ones are the same but firmer.
Well seasoned racer, but I haven't raced properly with a buggy in ten years, hell the last buggys I bought were a XX-CR and an original CAT2K Thanks for all of the feedback guys, it's turned in to an essential read for any X2C owners.

2nd the chassis comment, that's dedication for you
