Hello,
a little update from my XMW. car works great and i am quicker than with my previous cars.
i am using a gear diff with plastic gears which is fine with my choice of motor (8.5t Gforce).
the only disappointing part on the car are the outdrives from the gear diff. ready to replace after 25 batteries.

i treated the car to new shells as well see pictures below.
the proline shells was painted by puppy paint.
