Am I the only one out there that thinks this has potential? Im also looking at the orange ARTR X10 2.2.. Too bad about the rear straight axle.

For 2.2 class the straight rear axles is the only thing that's legal.
In super class anything goes.

He means its too bad the rear axle has straight axle adpaters and no steering knuckles. The regular AX-10 has steering knuckles front and rear, it would be easy to make 4 wheel steer but the axles aren't that big compared to Clods, TXT's, etc.

Its hard to find terrain to challenge a bunch of supers. Cost is also a huge factor.

The XTM and the Berg both have the gear box mounted horizontal to the ground. This does not work real well. The Motors need to be clocked up out of the way. I would think the XTM could be modified. The Berg can. There is a lot of talk on RCC about this. I wish there was more interest in our area for Supers. I love mine. It,s a Clod based.
