akula racing akx2 COMING SOON

[PaulUpton]

The liPos the other way is a nice tuning aid and works well in high grip conditions.

If you plan on running the lipos this way you really need a slimline servo.

I managed to get my speed passion and futuba receiver in the space between slimline servo and the posts. Not so much luck with the Orion r10 though so the speedo is between the two posts then receiver and servo

Or I'm guessing you could use a mad monkey? Although you'd need shocks and bearings

yep but id buy the pro versions, as it comes with all the bits you need from the start

[steve_haskins]

As Jason says you will be ok servo wize with std size servos mine a low profile purely because it's all I have,
I have as sanwa reciever and a nosram esc in mine and there's plenty of room if you run the cells as shown in the 2 cars

Yep, that was the original fit & finish prototype. Went well given the fact I was driving it. I'll be running one of the pre-production kits at Grantham tomorrow night.

[brooksy]

From what I was watching Dave it was going better than well!!!. One of the best cars there on the day. Well balanced,smooth and fast.

If I hadn't bought a 210 a few months ago I would be seriously looking at getting one of these conversions for my x2c.

[PaulUpton]

sell the 210 and get the convertion.....simples

[brooksy]

Loving the 210 too much at the moment.

It's going really well outdoors but I've yet to run it indoors so you never know!!!.

I half agree, on the one hand it's quite expensive given you'll already have a mid car to start with, which can have weight added/distributed to replicate the extra 40 or so grams of the ally chassis adds. Wheres if you run a B4.1, RB5 etc & want mid you only have two choices, buy a different car or get a mid conversion ie, C4.1, Vega.. you have to spend the money one way or another.

On the other hand, i guess if you're looking for strong, responsive chassis with little/no flex & you really want to stick with the brand (& not just buy a SV2, dex210..) & sell your current TC02C/X2C, then it looks a very nice bit of kit indeedy.

I'll have a job to convince myself that given my x2c is already mid, & that i haven't broken the standard chassis yet, or that i can add weight under the batteries or servo to mimic the low postioned weight, & i'm willing to put up with the flex, that i could justify the full £175RRP. (unless it's actually going to be cheaper, lol)
