i just bought a 2nd hand xb8 luxury in mint condition and had my first run/race with on sunday...what a great buggy its is!!
i just put what oils/springs etc i thought would work on the bench at home on saturday night,and the car was almost dialled at the track on sunday.
very easy to drive on rough/bumpy/grippy astroturf,i could throw the car at the track and would say 'that all you got??'
i could push very very hard with it and it would do just what i wanted,the only small thing was a little bit of chassis roll in a tight dog leg that you had to be quick thru but i could live with that and drop a tenth or 2..
qualified 4th in the A final after blowing 2 plugs in the qual heats,got tagged at the start of the final and left dead last after the 2nd corner
fought my way back upto 2nd and closing in on the leader slowly when the buzzer went..just 5 seconds behind..car felt totally incontrol all the way thru the 20 minute final,i was using a thunder tiger 21 engine,novarossi pipe and turborats with inside and outside row cut off the front..i will be keeping this setup
thanks for making such a great car
