Cowboy's x-maxx, that truck-kit thing that never came, beano's gen1, and junks hot-glue-horror, and one other truck from XMS are some-what close. This being a damn well done version though indeed.

Re: x line

the ball on the end of the dogbones doesn't fit into the xmod dif so i would have to grind it down to fit and i don't have $15 dollars to buy the aluminum ones.

Re: x line

You mean the dogbones? I'm not sure if they're still called that in radlines. You could probably get aluminum replacements.

Re: x line

Looks good. Is there any reason you're leaving it 2wd?

Re: x line

it runs good except the aluminum can be bent if you hit anything at high rates of speed.
