Wow, that's awesome! I'm assuming she had some help with the build? Even so, you're lucky your daughter is into cars and not Barbie! I hope my little ones get bit by the hobby too.

A few practice laps with the XB9E on the dirt track in Kodal, Norway.

8 year old Malin behind the wheel of the pink XB9E.
She's joined by a couple local drivers with a Xray '13 XB9 and a Kyosho MP9 TKI3.

any news on the body?

COME ON....

I see Martin Bayer is confirmed for the electric class @ theneorace.com so is Malin :wink:

Will be interesting to see what body he will be using.
I know drivers from the UK team will run the 808E body.
We will run the JConcepts Finnisher as usual as we wait for a Xray specific body.......

Hey Bent!
first thanks for those pictures of your build! I'm glad I had them when building since I'm visual

Secondly I'm not sure I missed it but have you posted your setups? I'm curious to see what people run to play with mine. (I just got the XB9e and its my first 1/8 scale)
Cheers!

Well the 2013 NeoRace is over.

Malin made it to Semi Final A where she took a 9th place and became the highest placed Xray driver in the electric class with a 21st spot in the total standings

Not too bad for an 8 year old girl who's been driving R/C cars since November 2012

She started by taking a 3rd place in 1/4 Final A.

Then she went on to the Semi Final A with some pretty steep competition

Malin's setup @ 2013 TheNeoRace.com

Here are videos from Malin's qualification runs #5 and #6 @ 2013 TheNeoRace.com.

In round #5 she did 10 laps in 6m 35.164sec with a best lap of 36.403 which gave her a 5th spot in the heat.

In round #6 she did 10 laps in 6m 42.331sec with a best lap of 36.005 which gave her another 5th.

She had a little trouble towards the very end with the ESC shutting down after overshooting the big double.
But she managed to lower her best lap by nearly half a second.

And she was through to the 1/4 finals

And please ignore the blabbering pit crew :lol:

The new XRAY XB9E bodies will be available under the old part number #359705 as they will fit also the old XB808E cars and they will be send end of this week to distributors who will order them.

Same part number?

Means same part? Same body? You kept us waiting for the old 808e-body?

Hopefully I'm wrong.
