Hi Phil,

also bought 3 sets of the X-Car combo you show above for my 3 kids. They have used them for ~12 months, but 1 packed in after ~4 months, 1 went after ~8 months and 1 is still running. I have a reventon R in my box for when it does give up the ghost
The 2 that failed I fitted the Speed Passion Reventon R combos with 13.5t motors (don't want kids with anything too fast).
I run reventons in all my cars (sounds like a fleet, but isn't really!) and they have been bomb proof.
They are easy to adjust (although I must admit some of the settings have names that mean nothing to me - i.e. DMTS or DRSS. There is an explanation in the manual, but who knows whether setting it at 2 is better than 4?)
You can get a Reventon S combo for ~£65 or the R combo for ~£75.
If you can stretch to it, the R is better, but also, look on here as you might find a reventon pro 2nd hand for similar money and they are great.

But, on the flip - the X-Car was really easy to set up. Programme card is very simple and has all data printed on it. Drives pretty smoothly.
just as a note though - 45A wont enable you to run a particularly quick motor

Hope cars are running OK and you are nearly ready for a trip to Batley
