Ansmann X2Pro XL

[ConceptRacing]

Just to let everyone know, I have fitted a Macnum chassis to my X2, what a difference that has made to the car, in fact 15mm difference, it drives really well, very stable and balanced, had a practice with it on Saturday, with a few set up changes to make it handle just that bit better it felt really good to the point that the 2 guys with me on Saturday are F2 drivers (Dean Gibbs and Jon Seals) I managed to keep within shouting distance of them, usually they are that much faster they are are in a different league to me, I was wondering of anyone else has tried this, raced it on Sunday at Coventry against a few decent drivers, overall ended up 2nd in the B final, but in qualifiying I managed to get a 8th and 9th in round with lap times not far off the top runners, I think the best time was a 15 in 310, should have had a 16 lapper but didnt quite happen, you know how its is, I think it was the driver more than the car, the car needs more run time to get used to the longer chassis but overall I feel its a better set up than standard, a lot easier to drive, easier to push hard into corners, flows a lot better over bumps, checked it against a Losi 22 and its the same length, for the cost its a well worth upgrade to get a car that already handles really well and is even more competitive than standard. anyones thoughts one this subject will be more than welcome.

Almost tried out my madrat with a macnum chassis myself. I got sent the wrong one after an accident, the shell didnt cover the front properly. I honestly thought about racing it, but my sense of injustice at being sent a wrong part made me change it back.

If I recall, there was more space to add weight in the front, but a spacer in the battery compartment is needed so all the faffing around played a part in my decision too.

Yeah, what shell did you use?
I also thought that the x2 t piece is loads bigger than the width of the recess on the back of the macnum chassis?

I used a normal body, just trimmed it a bit longer with a shorter nose, then I remembered I had Tamiya trf201 body in the draw, needed a bit of dremel work but otherwise fits really well, pretty Cool body as well, I will take some pics soon.

This is not the mid motor car, that's the X2C, this is the X2 rear motor, the chassis uses the same T-bar on the truck as the buggy.

You use big bores? what surfaces is your track. I´m planning to do this mod
