Hello Bren:
My consultation is for the optional one who buys for my 808.
The same one is: Rear Chassis Brace Flex of fioroni.
My consultation is if the same one I it can use calmly without singun risk for my car since it is very flexible compared with that of original Xray.

Thank you.
Alejandro.

I only run xray products, I would see it
Flexing more than STD but do not see the need for more flex.

I run the fioroni rear brace..I'd actually put it about in the middle of the standard plastic brace and the xray alloy one regarding stiffness.I tried the xray alloy brace but I found it a bit too rigid for my taste.Then the fioroni one popped up on ebay at half price for a brand new one so I grabbed it.Run it for all this season and I like it just fine but like most option parts the only way to really see if it suits you is to try it.

Sorry to hijack your thread Bren. :lol:

.hehe another race day on my bearings with zero problems..Until I snapped a con rod in first place in the Final anyway.That somewhat slowed things down.

Hello Bren,

do you have any recommendations regarding option parts that are useful/important to have on the XB808 2010?

Thanks.

Hi Bren,

What are you doing to get your entire drivetrain to run very smooth. I tried already several things with the bearings and oil to get a good free rolling. I like the smooth running of the drive train at a new Losi Buggy and i think it is possible to get this also at the XRAY. Any suggestions or tip?

Thanks a lot for your opinion! I think I will wait for the 2011 and take then a look to get this to a low friction drivetrain. I have the feeling that a low friction drive train does roll quiet better through a corner and of course does save a bit of fuel also. I am really excited to see the 2011 spec soon all what Jason and you mentioned already sounds really, really good.

Kind Regards

Ben

Bren doesn't drive for Xray any more, so you may want to post a general topic to see if there's an answer available?

Maybe mods should lock this topic for posterity?
