This is some high quality work @joostin420! Everything looks manufactured, it’s clean and fresh looking. Awesome job! I can’t wait to see it painted!

 

[joostin420]

thanx. the body is going to remain the solid white color it is. paint would come off for sure if it rolls over

 

[Mongoose]

Yeah, I didn’t even think of that....paints gotta go on the outside lol

U do some really nice work @joostin420 hopefully ur gonna make a running video when you take her out on her maiden voyage.

 

[joostin420]

Thanx. will have a running video for sure of both the x-bug and silver tomahawk Kraton. I promised myself I would not run the Kraton either until this project was finished also

Of course no sticker set for this custom body... had to measure out and cut my own windows. Had some black vinyl wrap left over from an auto head unit bezel I did 2 years ago. The vinyl is way easier to work with compared to the normal stickers - able to get all air bubbles out super easily

Body mounting setup is finally complete

 

[joostin420]

Redesigned the battery tray plates and cut the chassis to fit the graphene packs laying down versus standing on edge.

[joostin420]

First running! Big, fast, and fun!

 

[WoodiE]

That thing MOVES @joostin420. Looks real good!

 

[joostin420]

Thanx woodie. The motor needs a fan.

 

[Partypeople]

That's a ridiculous x-maxx bro. wats it's top speed?

 

[joostin420]

Thanx man. I don’t know the exact speed but it is fast. my tomahawk Kraton is faster for sure by far.

I guess I’ll have to get a GPS now

Waited a couple weeks for these wheel hexes to arrive - 2 of 4 have malformed splines on the insides

Installed the 2x good ones on the front. I didn’t think going from the stock 9mm to the aftermarket 13mm hexes would be noticeable, but seeing the difference in width of the front track compared to the rear it was worth the $20.
