Hey there cdog, I’ve been comparing the two over the last few nights, BT's X has a 6 cell pack, and stock electronics, all the bearing as are installed and he's using a BB can . Also , he hasn't shaved off the suspension stops. It seems much smoother than mine does with way less rolling resistance. It's also a lot lighter. Combined, it makes for a quicker X. The motor runs a lot cooler. And I think he's using different Diffs, I got a complete set of spares with the car, and there a re a couple of diffs, so I reckon they're helping boost performance
I tried it out on my speed checker and got 29 km/h. Haven't tried my own X yet,. But after seeing the difference in performance, I'm fitting the bearing set I had lying around, lubing the diffs, and replacing the clunky brick battery pack for a set of 6 2/3 'A' cells.

I'm using a mini-z transmitter, so it cuts out if I max the throttle. a spacer behind the trigger should cure this.

Hopefully I'll be getting an RCP track in the coming weeks, so I'll be able to provide a better comparison then. At the moment I'm just trying to get mine up to a comparable level with BT's, which is proving to be a task in itself!!


binaryterror, I have to say, you built a mean machine!!
