What should I know about the X Pro?

[MrMagoo]

Just ordered an X Pro for some electric fun in between my regular 8th Nitro outings. From reading the posts here it seems like the rear T piece is a real weak spot, is there a recomended replacement/upgrade or do I just carry a bunch in my pit box? Also, any other tips I should know about before I crack the wrenches out and get building?

Have been racing the xpro all summer has been brilliant.
Did what most people have done and brought the mad rat as spares.
But only needed a front wishbone and a back hub all summer so the boy is racing the madrat.
Regarding the weak points i looked on here at peoples comments and yes the t piece is a week link but my solution to the problem was just to get a 2mm piece of ally the width of the front bumper and run it the length of the chassis all the way to the rear of the t piece enabaling me to add strength to the front and rear in one go just using longer screws in the holes you choose to use to secure plate to chassis.
Hope this helps and happy racing. For the money there is no comparison.

There is no real week points now the tpeice is made of a new plastic and just won't break I have ran my car all season without breaking a single one

The new tpieces are fine i havent broken one since the update.Carbon fibre ones are available if you wanted to beef it up more.
These buggies are a steal at £79.99

Yep I agree there is no way to break the newer bendable t pieces, they could bend at 90 degrees and still not break

Only thing thats broke on mine is the thrust bearing, bfast to the rescue

Cheers guys... just order a speedo, 8.5 motor and a couple of 4600 hardcase packs for it, plus all the carbon goodies ('cause I love carbon goodies!).

Should be fun. Just worked out it's the best part of 20 years since I last ran 2wd and that was with a stock 540 motor and Tamiya mechanical speed control. Have a feeling this might be a bit different.
