If you look at the lineup of Xray Cars in the 2005 back page of the Xray Catalog. The M18T has metal outdrives on it.
Im sure they are very soon.

The reason why i painted it this way was because my GF was looking at her bowling ball and asked me if there was anyway i could try to duplicate that effect on the lid....i did what i could....and as long as she likes it-im happy.

Hey Alfred, NICE TRUCK! Option parts are being worked on even as I write this and will start to become available soon. Have patience, remember the M18? They DO take their time about it though........

Yeah thanks for the confidence there good buddy. Well got a chance to run it again...been raining here the past couple of days....I dont like how soft the rear springs are when i hit the throttle...The M18t swoops backwards and will remain that way on throttle...this i dont like at all...
I was looking at the atomic shocks i had to see if i could get them on there.....I first took the AE shock retainer and dremeled the bottom hole a bit bigger to fit on the Xray shock bottom then i used one of my left over threaded shock collars to act as a spacer to hold the shock in place......the reason for this is the AE and Xray shock springs are different diameters........
Please take a look.....
