Starting of with my own. First is my T4 and the other is my 12th scale that I never ran at all with the original chassis. Milled my own because I hate strapping the batteries down with tape. An sort of inline idea with servo infront.

On Friday my XB4 will be up here as well

Cheers mate. It's a great car. Can't wait to give it a run. Hope it's as good as my 410! Lol

Looking good atsang. Loving the blingy bits. Any of you boys run one yet? Mine will be out Wednesday if my shell is back in time. Fingers crossed.

Just got back from a morning racing at TORCH!


Anyone have an issue with shock cap weeping some oil? noticed on mine a bit of oil, looks like has leaked from shock cap?


(Warning a long write up coming lol)

Started Q1 with a 1st place, on a damp track. Q2-Q3-Q4 were all 2nds and Q5 a 1st. Final was a close battle for 1st changing positions every other lap. But an error by me, cost me 1st place.

Well, the car so far is fantastic to drive for me it felt solid and I was not worried about the durability aspect. Handles a dream even on the box Carpet setup, grips like no tomorrow and generates more traction than even the FS2 does IMHO.

It has enough steering to make 99.99% of drivers turn down there EPA! It reacts well to setup changes and on a damp astro track it is on rails. I would say its a bit of a mix between a DEX410 and a ZX5 FS2. It has the slight aggressive punch/nature of the DEX, but yet still feels very smooth to drive-like the ZX5. I would say its a middle ground between both of those cars. Which is no bad thing in the slightest! Its super quite and very free running for a geared car. Jumps a dream and will be interesting to see what its like in the dry!

Got a few comments on how good it looked on track and let a friend drive it. Who currently runs a FS2. Lets just say-He sounded very very tempted

All in all, I'm super happy about its 1st run. Already back on pace after a few months off racing and a brand new car. With a stock setup.. Verdict- GET ONE!!!!

Cheers Robbie. Tbh I didn't want the Xray to realise what the shell was designed for in case it made it brittle and prone to wearing out.

Bit of a long shot I know, but does anyone have a spare front bulkhead I can buy off them? Seem to have cracked mine slightly. Think it happens just before the start of my final. I was going all guns blazing and hit the pipe, on a rigid section. It was that or playing with the 2wd trucks after racing- dirty racers haha - seems ok.. But would like to replace it if possible, checked few shops and non have stock? Cheers gents!

Yeah typically rear is in stock.. but no fronts Which is a bummer. It seems ok-But think 1 hard shunt and it could finally fail. Not the end of the world...

Let me know if you do get any cheers buddy

Deffo mate. We've ordered them so fingers crossed. I'm told the next batch isn't far away so no need to panic yet? Lol
