PLUS, this is without bearings, hardware, and the servo mounts!!!! Figured I'd just stop here as the price got way too high! for about $50 more you could buy a whole X-factor AND be able to part out the nitro stuff and come out waaaaaay on top over this price.



Like I said I got bored..............

as someone else posted..the ring gear is only 24.99

and xtm is a good company..and they are actually fairly cheap against some of the other companies..they are just smaller

[cman_1500w]

It is alot, but I've noticed most of the other companies are the same way and charge alot for spare parts. That's a big part of how they make money is it not?

Plus I'm not gonna knock XTM too bad, they're a pretty good company and their cust service is top notch so I hear....plus they did bring us crawlers some pretty cool axles!

ye hi know your not knocking xtm..

btw..im still not convinced on having a shafty crawler....unless you can get it to perform like a clod ofcourse..you came up against any clods yet?? ifso how'd you go?

[cman_1500w]

So far just one, Torquer's rig, the red Jeep-bodied clod in the Grapevine lakes pics. His rig is really NICE... pretty much just like a zilla4....only thing holding him back really is a lil wheelbase and lower gearing....otherwise I think his rig would be on par with just about anyone else out there....Mudcow, pinchflat, grizzly, etc.... Also he's been having severe radio glitches so it's still hard to see what his rig totally capable of.

September 4th, we'll be crawling with Texrok, he's got a clod with a ~14" wb, 9t pinions and narrowed tires so I'll be able to see what it can do against one of these competition types of clods.....PLUS Torquer has plans for more wheelbase and 9t pinions as well, so if he has those mods done and his glitches fixed he will SERIOUSLY be a force to reckon with also.....I guess I'll see then if my rig has what it takes! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve as well that 'should' even the playing field! I'm really looking forward to it! Should be lotsa fun!

[willyrocket]

I guess I can start the poo talkin now, he hasnt been up against Booger yet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, I am tryin my dangest to get up there with you guys!!!!!!!!!, Dont count me out yet!!!!!!!

[KidWithAcrayon]

You can sure count me in!! I will do my best with my tlt I've never crawled before so I don't know much about angles to take.... don't give me any hints either. I will figure out by my self... What kind of plans do you have up your sleve this time?!?! This should be in the get together forum so am going to stop...

321 for axles!!!! tahts a bit over priced :P

[rockjeep]

I WORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND THERE PRICING ON PARTS ARE ABOUT THE SAME SCALE AS THE R/C COMPANYS. PARTS HAVE A 100% MARK UP OVER COST. BUT THATS THE WAY EVERY INDUSTRY IS . THIS IS A GREAT WEB SIT. I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF USE FULL INFO HERE.
KEEP THE SHINE SIDE UP!!!

[cman_1500w]

KidWithAcrayon: Guess you'll have to see for yourself! Show up or put up!


rockjeep: Yea I guess since they're supposed to be scale models, that includes the prices too! Shoot... for the price of one brand new axle you can buy an entire rig...used of course. Like how I got my 91yj for $1300 you can get just one axle for a similar price.....pretty much know what I mean?

Where can you get them for that? I would like to try to build one of these shafty rigs just to do it. Especially after seeing c-man's this past weekend. I like crawling, and my CLOD didn't do to well as crawling.

[cman_1500w]

on ebay there is a guy named 'allislandhobbys' that sells x-f parts. Do a search for 'xtm x-factor' and his stuff should come up.

I think what he does is buy complete x-f kits and parts them out at his shop. You can probably email him directly and get what you need. Very nice guy. I bought a ton of parts from in the past. Always great to deal with.

Yeah That guy has a set on ebay right now for $65. 8O
