Yah exactly,this XTM section has been pretty silent these days  ...I mean they would probably be more action in a G-Made/Junfac section if RCC ever created one (by owners)...but no it wont be created...its all politics and money at the end of the day... XTM aint bothered to promote their crawler here by the looks of things (but being a local company RCC has made the section hoping that they will) and G-Made being as Asian as they are will probably never promote their products here so their section was and wil probably never be made ... If I owned RCC I would probably do the same thing , so I'm not saying Json or Badger are bad (so dont go jumping ino conclusions all you darama queens ) But these are the facts my friend ....or I maybe wrong and the XTM super maight sell well this winter?????  |

I got my axles clocked, just waiting on a pimp cane to show up in the mail. As I've stated in other threads, What is wrong with it is the axles are hard to take apart. Other then that it is excellent. My goal for this rig is to compete with a clod based stick. I don't just think I will be able to compete, I expect to win. Probably don't hear as much about it as it is a new launch product and not everyone has one yet. In addition to that the snow on the ground tends to discourage rock crawling because there is no traction. |

I love mine, I clocked the axles, and if you take your time the axles are no big deal to take apart. I was also able to make servo mounts and have Behinde the axle sterring also. The beadlocks are really nice and very easy to change the tires. all in all I think it's going to be right up their with the clod crawler's. The adjustable shock mount's make for easy ride height adjustment.

I don't own an X-Crawler, but I'm interested in the tires and rims for a possible project truck. Could someone tell me if they're available seperately? Hex size? Thanks. T.D. |
