Angry sorry

Sorry to burst anybody's bubble, but aside from the electronics and what's left of the chassis pan....how is this still an x-mod??? This looks like it'll take a LOT of fabricating to put together also. I'll bet that by the time you look at the cost of the x-mod + the cost of this kit (suspension, wheels, tires, shocks etc) + the cost of the 180 or 260 motor it's going to take to drive those big tires+ the time and money invested in a FET upgrade it'll probably take to get any speed whatsoever out of this thing, than it'll = more than what it would've costed to buy a Mini-Z Mad Force or a Tamiya TLT-1 or an Mini-Z Overland etc......Hopefully the chassis pan doesn't split in half after a jump or 2 due to excess weight and/or stress. Great idea to say "hey look what I've done!!", but I wouldn't want to invest/waste my time and money it'd take to do the conversion. I'd just buy one of the aforementioned vehicles.
