Whats the X4 like??

[OneKiwi]

How is it? You people that have it are ya happy with it, or would you have gone for another brand 4WD

Can you recommend it?

What other 4WD would you have gotten if you didn't pick the x4

Is the price relevant to what you get? Like the madrat... lots for your money

Well I built mine several months ago and only just ran it about 30 minutes ago. Only with A 13t motor but it was smoooooth and smoooth (really smooth) and pretty fast, I could drive it flat out almost everywhere on a track made from very fine and thick dust, even got some sideways traction rolls on a track like that, amazing. I had high hopes for the car but it's better than I expected. I also expected to break a diff straight up but had no problems at all on the first run, so far so good but it's not a very powerful motor so we will see what happens when I get something faster in it. I got this one for a crazy good price and normally I wouldn't have bought a 4wd but if I was going to buy another one other than this it would have been the latest Lazer

lots of runs and still great.
dith run with 4.0t motor.but to much power.also could not get gearing for 4t motor.

I have the team c version, out of the box I thought it handled really good. The only adjustments Ive made are tires and ride height. The car is much tougher then the 2wd based cars, it almost seems it was made by a different company.
Only complaints are a noisy spur gear and not enough shims for the diffs.

excellent car to drive - handles a 6.5 no problem and is really smooth. Only weak spots i've noticed have been the front brace (now replaced with the aluminium upgrade part and is fine) and the hinge pins (can easily be replaced with Associated ones for £3).

I echo what Notme said about the lack of diff shims - if you buy one you should order an extra pack (part number 125000958) and make sure you have at least 3 shims on each diff (gear side).

I've also added big bore shocks onto mine and, the black aluminium castor blocks and the black heatsink motor mount, although with hindsight I should have just waited for the Team Edition model to come out which has all these parts as standard.

My little motor is getting waaay hot pushing this thing around, hot enough that if you drop water on the motor it will instantly boil :P, you can burn yourself even on the chassis, I'm amazed it hasn't melted or drooped from the heat, so I'm going to need a more grunty motor pretty soon I think
