In summary then....

[DaveG28]

It's been out for a few months now, and I'm fishing around at 2wd, so thought I'd ask, how are people finding the Xpro?

Whats it good at/bad at, what are the necessary upgrades, what bits break etc?

Not worried about things like drivetrain noise (eg spur, unless it causes failures), but reliability and speed issues!

good cars tplate breaks all the time just need to put alloy hop ups on and it will be fine . if you after a buggy i got a b4 forsale £100

touch wood i ent had a t brake yet, and with the new t's there better. i haven't got the x pro, i have the madrat, i have changed the turn buckles and added b4 shocks and carbon shock towers. also made up a rear pin holder out of alloy, the stock plastic ones break. and the stock tyres are naff, iv just duck taped the inside for the time being to reduce ballooning.

the diff holds up ok and haven't had a problem, the spurs are a bit egg shaped but still running it hasn't really had an effect.

theres not much u need to do to a pro, recommend an alloy rear pin holder and some some good tyres mini pins up front and rear if run on grass/astro.

im pleased with mine

[stampede vxlboy]

its wont make it any better the gearbox is as smooth as you will get it lol
put some nice wheels and rpm parts will make it look ten time better . diff balls are ok but it does not need them . you would be better buy a better spurgear koysho rb5 and slipper pads .

The T-piece is the only real problem with the car.I have run mine every week at the PDA for the last 9 weeks and have only broken 1 wishbone through silly driving .
Carbon fibre T-pieces will apparently be available from Ansmann soon.
