Well I was bored so I took some pics of my X-Terminator Deluxe with a brand new Collari LC.21B3 engine. As some of you know I have not been able torun the einge yet becuase it didn't come with the nut to hold the carb on. The Ofna 086 pipe is also brand new, I can't wait to see how this combo works out. I also filled the diffs with 5,7,3 which should help me get some grip. I'm hoping all of this will add up to a good increase in performance over the stock 24.7 with stock pipe and no diff oil. Oh yea, and I ordered a motorsaver airfilter too. For those of you who do not like X-Terminators, thats too bad becuase they are great buggies.

That look great AC. I can't wait till i get one. Its between the b3 and the fantom 21. Let me know how it goes with the ofna pipe. I might get the jp-1 or jp-2 unless the 086 works really good. When you gonna get the carb nut or whatever?
 
I dunno when I can get the nut, Werks hasn't replied to me yet. I'll let ya know how it goes with the pipe, but I would get the B3 over the Fantom, I heard the Fantom wears out prematurely.
 
Buggy looks great!

Did you mention that you got the email addy from vbgagnon on the grid? Donno if that would have helped, but it might be worth a try.

Looks great. I like those front shock towers.

You have to report back to us how it goes with breaking in that Collari.
 
I just got my xterminator and have only been racing it, completely stock except for a servo, even stock tires, and have been posting fastest lap times, and even made it into the A-main the first time ever driving a buggy. This thing does well if any one doubts its ability as a racer. Nice Buggy AC48!!
 
Hey mxboy100 what other cars are you running against? Sounds good to me. yA AC48 i can't wait to hear about the combo. Looks sweet. Also whats the difference between the b7 and the b3? maybe by the time the hyper dies the b7 will be around 200 also.
 
Thanks guys, I can't wait to run it. I got mine on eBay NIB for $185, which isn't too bad. A lot of people don't like the X-Ts but they are actually a very good buggy.

Vb, I didn't, but if I don't hear from them I'll give them a call.

The B3 has three ports, where as the B7 has 7. This means the B7 will have more high end horsepower and the B3 is made for torque. If you race, the B3 is for the tight small tracks and teh B7 is for the long tracks. I just bash, but I wanted the torque :) But since its made for low end and I also like to have some highend I got the 086 which is a highed pipe.

I love the shock towers on the deluxe too, they are 5mm.
 
Ofna Buggy basher: I am running againsts some hyper 7s, lots of jammins, and a couple of Mbx5 Prospecs. Maybe 2 kyosho Kania 3's. I think thats about it.
 
As you guys know, I love XTM. (got the ST on order)

Nice looking rig AC48. Keep us posted on the engine.
mxboy100, glad to here you are kicking some butt with yours. Give em hell :cheers:
 
Hey AC48, u havent even driven that thing yet??? Its to shiny to be used. The only thing i have had to do with my X is replace the wing. I broke it on the 2nd lap due to landing and the front end bounced up and putting the wing to the ground and cracked it. I replaced with proline wing, but it only comes in white or yellow, and doesn't really match the deluxe.
 
Great looking buggy AC! I just had mine out last night after finally getting the RG X running right, and that buggy flew around the track, very gracefully. It is just a so very well balanced buggy. I love it. I swear I am hopping this buggy catches on. I figure if we talk about the XTerm enough maybe we can convince others here who are looking for a good buggy to buy one. Anywho, great buggy again AC. You will have to let us know how it runs!

Well it has been driven for about of quart of fuel with the 24.7. I then got the pipe and engine and did a complete tear down and changed the diff oil. While I was doing that I cleaned her up a bit :) I didn't show you the bottom of the chassis....lol its a bit scratched.

digger, please LMK when that ST ships to you. My friend is going to get one but doesn't like to back order stuff so he wants to wait till they come in.

Yea I hope so too godale, they are a very good handling buggy and with the right skills cane take some highend rigs like mxboy was saying. You guys sould post pics of yours! :) Thanks for all the comments :cheers:
 
Well the nut I needis on its way, I'll let you guys know how this combo runs as soon as I can get that damn nut. :)
 
Well guys, I'm not waiting for it :) I "encouraged" another nut to fit lol.

Engine runs great, I'll give a better review of it as soon as I finish break in. I'm on the third tank so far.
 
Sweet ac that sounds good. can't wait till my hyper 8 port dies lol well i probably wount blow it till next season so i got a long time to wait. Is the nut still comin anyways?
 
I'm not sure, I e-mailed them and they replied asking waht I needed and my adress, so I told them and have not heard back from them. I sent them another email asking if they had sent it and no reply, so I made my own nut lol.

The enigne is awesome, but I am going to get some new tires and a new clutch to help getall the power to the ground. I already put in diff oil which makes a big difference.

Don't wait for the 8 Port to die...jsut get the collari now, they are awesome. It sounds sweet with the pipe I got too, sounds like Ferrari :D...well compared to the 24.7 with stock pipe.
