difference between X2c and Mad Monkey

[deano261]

i was looking through the catalogue and was wondering what is the difference between the X2c and the Mad Monkey, i am interested in a mid motor buggy and wanted to know whether it is worth spending the extra money.

The x2c is slightly wider, has aluminium shocks, proper set of turnbuckles with adjustable nuts, the plastic is supposibly better and I think that the internals of the gearbox are upgraded

Wrong - the X2C is narrower taking saddle packs side by side (so the weight is very slightly further forward) - the monkey takes stick pack full length widthways.

[wrighty]

X2c has better shocks ball races and the monkey dowsnt have ballraces it also has stic pack chassis ..there may be more diffrences but think there main ones

i currently have a few stick pack of lipos so is it worth just getting the mad monkey and upgrading the turnbuckles, shocks and ball racing it. I did that on my mad rat already and did notice a difference.

Oops, I knew it was one or the other and I forgot about the bearings

if you want to continue using stick packs i would buy an X2c then buy a monkey chassis and motor mount bracket( the little bit that screws to the chassis)

I would do this. I would also sell you a mad monkey chassis however you can pick them up on eBay brand new for £6.50 posted.
That way you have all the upgrades on the car and can change to saddle packs as your stick packs give up.
Only problem you may have is getting a bodyshell unless your happy with the pre painted one.

Or you could convert the Mad Rat which is what I just did for my son.
