Default MM or X2C

I'm currently running a MM and have acquired a X2C.

Loving the way the MM handles (over the MR) but want to know which one I should keep (MM or X2C) hold of for serious racing!

Am I correct in thinking the narrower X2C will have less roll than the MM's wider chassis?

Also are there certain situations where one chassis will be better over the other?

Thanks in advance
Lee

MM is good in trees.

The MM should be slightly better in low grip conditions as the weight is further back which will aid rear traction... Never tried the MM though in all honesty...

Hope that helps?

Looking at both buggies side by side the X2C's battery compartment is closer to the motor mount than the Monkey by a mm or 2

The X2C will be better suited to racing in most conditions.
It should allow quicker reaction time (side to side) and better overall balance.

But there is 'more' battery at the rear in the MM..
