Post by: Ride1Rob on December 01, 2007, 02:44:57 PM
Here is a vid of my son driving my 5B. I posted some pics back awhile ago but never posted a vid. This thing is fun and powerful. Motor upgrades to come soon  ;)  .

Nice, good way to keep the grass down. ;)

You need to get a JetPro, that exhaust is too quiet.. how will you ever piss of the neighbors? :D

LOL, I hear ya on that! I hear that JetPro and the Dom make the X-Can sound quiet. My neighbors are pretty good and don't bother with me. Even when my son is riding his quad out there they don't say anything. Often come out and watch him ride.

You should bring that to the plex, it would be awesome on the mini track.

That thing looks like alot of fun. Do they have somewhere you race them? I remember when my dad raced asphalt cars. 8)

It's too big to run on the average 1:8th scale track. Not many people even know about this buggy. There are ALOT of guys around here that run Nitro cars. A few I know have 9-10 cars. A couple of those guys saw and drove this thing when it was stock (Have the bigbore kit with pipe and filter on it now) and said they'd sell all their cars just to get one of these (lol). As to my knowledge, I'm the only one that has one in the area. The local hobby store won't even carry parts just yet because he says no one else has the car. I think it's just a matter of time. Here's a vid of my son driving it with the added power.

Seems to me like this is now your sons car more than it is yours ;)

Smart kid.
