Welcome Legends !
There is a wealth of knowledge here ! Most topics related to the XFire have been discussed numerous times and this is where the search engine function comes in handy. As you've already noticed some of our members get a lil off center when a discussion topic or question has been raised over an issue previously hashed several times over.
Yes the steering mechanism is ole school but it works just fine, test drive one of these lil beauties and you'll see why we think so highly of this car.

Again Welcome to the Forum and good luck in your quest
