you guys know how i kept pestering you with questions with what buggy to get and all......well i finaly went to my lhs today and bought and x-terminator deluxe. it looks AWESOME. i can't wait to break it in tomorrow and then have an extended bashing session:banana:

i'll let ya'll know how it went :D
 
congrats on your new ride, post some pics of her when u get a chance:)
 
Thats a nice buggy. Hope u break it in well and enjoy it!
 
I have kind of always wanted one of those except for the ugly shell but tell me what RTR shell comes cool looking. Have fun with her.
 
i actually think the body looks awesome. fits the buggy perfectly imo. i have a question though: when i tilt the car laterally from side to side, it sounds like something is moving on the axle in the rear diff...is this normal or do i have to take it apart and fix it??

thanks
 
can someone please tell me?? i really need to know if i can go on with break-in or of i have to take everything apart and fix it
 
Is it just a dogbone sliding around? If it is, and isn't actually moving enough to fall out, you should be fine.

Did it come with that big fuel filter? If so, kudo's to XTM.
 
Hey, glad you chose the x-terminator. You're going to like it a lot i bet. Now about that axle/diff question. Don't fumble with it yourself, go to your hobby shop and tell them what's up. You shouldn't have to repair a brand new buggy that you probably spent quite a bit of money on. Just head over there and tell them exactly what you told us, besides them being able to see the problem in person is a lot easier than you trying to explain it to us on the internet. I know how it feels when you want to start up your brand new vehicle, then something goes wrong.

ok, i figured it out. all it was was a dogbone sliding around a little. when i hold it the sound goes away.

olds, yes it did come with that big filter you're talking about. looks like everything is made pretty nicely:cool:
 
Been around X-Terms since Day one of my nitro experience. You'll love that engine, not to shabby at all. Not sure about your atmosphere there but after break int hey seem to run great between 3 - 31/2 turns
 
cool no get it broke in and have fun...buggys rule..beet the piss out of it
 
you know i will...does anyone know the factory settings for the low-speed and idle? the manual doesn't say, it only says the high-speed factory settings are between 3-3.25 turns out.
 
Looks real nice. Like the shock towers.

The lid will look better with stickers I bet.

Congratulations!
(Is it a Boy or a Girl?) LOL!!!!!!!!!
 
hehe...i remember when my deluxe used to look like that. now it looks like its been thru two or three trips to hell and back. the thing still rocks tho and keeps comin back for more.
 
i already put stickers on it. i should have some new updated pics up in a couple days. someone should know the factory settings for it!!!
 
ok, i just got finished with break-in. had a hell of a time getting it started at 1st, then realized i just had to give it a bit of throttle... after that everything went smoothly. the buggy ran with a lot of power after a couple of tanks, so i'm happy thus far...can't wait to go do some real bashing now :D
