X2c, Should I try it ?

[gazoff]

Hi

Looking at the X2c,I am currently running an x6. Which is getting a bit tired now.

Should I get the X2c, is this car competitive / reliable ? (I am currently an F2)

What tuning parts would I need ?

Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy kits/spares ?

Cheers

Garry

i`m now running a Monkey which is the same except for the cell layout and am finding it very good and the parts all seem well made. Just got myself the uprated gearbox internals as apparently they are made of cheese(supposedly). Only ran it twice so far as its very new and not had it long but overall i`m very impressed. Just cuz its cheap doesnt mean its rubbish. And i`m liking it a lot.

I think you should give it a try, you might like it.

Price wise the car/spares are quite cheap, we seem quite competative .

The only real weak point seems to be the front kick-up plate, quick is cheap as chips to replace.


I would recommend a few alloy hop-ups - rear toe-in blocks, and the 30 degree caster blocks as minimum.

I think gearbox wise most people say ceramic balls and the nylon idler seem to work well. Other options include Kevlar diff gear or a metal idler. Lots of ideas but speak to Alec, Matt or many of the others as I'm sure they'll know better.

I only got mine Thursday but it seems very stable and easy to drive. I just need to improve my lap times.

Matt, do the rear toe in blocks come in different angles? Which is recommended.?

Your right, we all run ceramic diff balls (3/32), and the replacement idler gears. In regards to the Toe-in blocks, the come in a pack of 3.5 and 4, 3.5 is the kit standard. It's a good tuning aid, I use both dependingon the track.

Is that nylon or metal idlers?

Also don't forget the narrow hexs so you can fit in the box.

go for the team c tc02c same car but comes with nylon idlers as std and the plastics are better aparently. ive just brought one to replace my sv2 i love it and even beter is the parts prices ceramic balls are £8 and a set of springs are £5 bargain.

i would recomend the alloy hexs as well as the plastic kit ones fall of when changing wheels.
