Great buggy. Maybe a dirt runner in the yard with a quick change of tires for the pavement?

Very cool. Was this a conversion kit?

Yes it was a conversion from xfactory. It was a new chassis that made it a single belt and other refinements as well.

I know the idea behind it was the have the rough track handling of the xx4 with the straight away speed of the xxx4 so thats why the new chassis was designed to use the xx4 suspension and single belt of the xxx4.

The car uses the XX4 suspension, and basically the XXX4 drive train, except that it has only 1 belt. XFactory molded the chassis.

I'm looking for a kit or at the very least an X-5 Squared chassis. All other parts are available from Paul Sinclair.
