Well, I finally got a chance to take out my XT8 yesterday. It's a brushless conversion and I was waiting for the Castle Creations Monster Max speed control and it finally came. So, after a season of running my Ofna CRT I was curious how the two would compare. All I can say is they don't. Don't get me wrong, I loved my CRT but felt it was not as agile as I would like and thought the suspension could use some work. The turn in of the XT8 is insane. I can't believe how awesome this truck is - nice work Xray!!! I think I've posted a couple pictures of it before, but here's what it looks like with all the mods complete: |

As far as I know it would. Just be careful of the exhaust pipe and I'm sure you're good. |

The battery is sandwiched in between two pieces of 1/8" thick CF and held in place with strong double sided tape. Here's a couple photos of the battery setup: Since these photos I've actually wrapped the entire assembly lengthwise with red electrical tape. The front impacts were sliding the cells of the lipo out of the heat shrink opening at the end of the pack. Don't have any photos, but it seemed to eliminate any problems. |
