Have'nt been back here in a long long time..
Hows everybody doin? i don't see the old timers here anymore.
what happened to everybody?
umm.. we'll i still got my x factor & ran it a couple weekends ago.
i almost forgot how much fun this thing is. it sat for two years.
i guess thats a long time. but it started right up!
i ran it around for awhile until my m11 started beeping. as soon as i said i'd better shut it down, i lost signal &.....
it was worse than you see in these pics.
there was some carnage. i charged everything up but forgot to set the failsafe
feature on my spectrum. so it went head on into a curb. had bent shocks, servo plate, busted link mounts, ect..
luckily, i had extra parts, & i bent everything back & now its ready for action.
i also added this tamiya winch
& added this big cooling head.
anyhow, it feels good to be back here again!

I went & bought revo shafts.
got the front one installed.
(sorry, blurry pics.. camera's a peice of !$?#&!!)
my nephews friend has a revo & t-maxx all apart so i'm gonna check it out.
i've read somewhere on here that brakes from a t-maxx will make this other shaft work on the rear of the x-f.
i'll find out & put it together, post pics after.

Hey thanks outlaw..
the truck & trailer is my daily driver & my work horse.
did a bunch of work on it the past year. threw in a sbc 327 V-8, th350 ect..
did all the welding & fabrication work myself.
lots of people loves the x-f. cause it just looks like my rig.
