But still, when you flip a 19 inch car going 45 down a bumpy road, it's pretty hard to just rely on brand if you know what I mean
.
But yea, I'm assuming then that your answer is yes and that it is better than a hyper 8 pro.
Thanks.

Well I'm buying one used for this purpose and I have a couple questions: How durable is the buggy, can it easily handle the torque of dual batt's and BL? Is 225 to low? He offered 275, still awaiting pics so I'll get back to that. Lastly, has anybody else attempted this before with and Xray? Anything I should watch for, ideas, etc? Thanks. |

Those prices seem very fair, and good luck breaking an XRay. Everybody should start to chime in on their durability. If an XRay drops out of a race, is very rarely due to the car, its usually poor maintenance or another manufacturers part! |

Why did you run over it with a tractor? |

The XB8 is indestructable. I'm hoping on doing one of these conversions on a cheapo used XB8 I'm getting this summer. |

Already did, lol. So far, i have everything on a list except the motor mount. I emailed mike about making me a custom one so we'll see. Here's the list if you're interested: XB8R kit $419.99 BK Warrior +Fegiao 8xl $330.00 Kyosho 44t Spur $5.00 Mod 1 Pinion $12.00 BEC/UBEC $37.00 Total $803.99 Pretty good price if you ask me .
If I become a little over budget, I'll just switch to a mamba max esc instead of a BK warrior for a savings of about 100 bucks. |

I have an XB8 I was going to go electric with but thinking I have too many projects. it needs a couple parts, though most won't be needed if it's going to be electric/ http://www3.telus.net/Pipeous/Pics/XB8/ I'd let this setup go cheap. I have my TQ for racing and spares. no all the tires aren't included but I can toss in a set or 3. it needs the front metal concentric bushing, steering posts, a couple plastic bushings for the lower inside rear arm hinge pins, mud guards, and most of the brake parts (if using a clutch type system, otherwise not needed) and center dif top cover. there are 2 chassis there. something like $150 shipped? |
