Xtm Xt2

Anyone hear anything about this?

I've had the X-T buggies in the past and they were durable, but had a mean push. I wonder if this XT2 will handle any better while keeping its durability?

I'm assuming if any more pics come up, they'll be posted here. http://globalservices.globalhobby.com/globalforum/viewtopic.php?t=15111

Started to post the same question a while back. I would think it would be a lot better than the first one? Original came out 5 years ago? RC has came a long way since.

A lot of the original parts are going to fit on it. Plus some ST parts. Least that is what I'm reading on their forum.
I like XTM. Can't beat it for the money.

Can't push be remedied by diff oils and shock setup?

It can be helped, but the origional X-T was not a great handling buggy. It was a tank tho, its very heavy which doesn't help anything.

Still have mine. It's running when nothing else is. One hell of a basher. Only things I can think of that have been replaced: A-arms, front hub, and clutch? My kid ran it wot into a guardrail once. Stripped a front hub was all.

Mine does have a lot of push. Think you could solve a lot of it like olds said. I just bash. I can do that a lot easier with a $350 buggy. I couldn't imagine taking out something that cost $1500 and dogging it like I do my X-term.

XTM targets mostly the basher market. Kinda like Duratrash, only much better quality. They listen to the guys on their forum. Can't beat Hobby People for customer service either.
Figure the buggy will be a bit better than the first, but still a basher. Just my $0.02.

I still had my xtm buggy but I converted to on road, cause everytime I used n the race track I always broke something. But now its an onroad its ok.

i had a xterminator 1 buggy and a xt2 the 1 series was awesome with all the carbon fiber etc but once it was discontinued parts dried up and sold them both as a package deal the stock engine run forever but dont have a lot of acceleration. i ran a rossi black magic on mine for awhile it loved it

I realize this thread has been dead for a bit.... but....

I just got mine going it has a lot of after market parts including an engine and I love the thing! It is tuned for a track and jumps, so on the little bumps on the dirt road by me it bounces around a lot.
