XRAY - Model racing cars

Ok, so I don't like :

- the play of the front bearings in steering blocks
- the play at the rear suspension arms below
- the toe-out-ing of the steering when you push on the front suspensions
- the front steeringrods let loose on some occasions
- no draining of excess fuel below the tank
- no milled diff gears
- the dead battery I got
- prefer no wheels and lower price or glued tires on wheels

My bearings stay put in the front rear knucles and uprights. What play do you have. The only play I have is like .5 mm of the universal slop back and forth. But for the bearings they dont move. Do yours ? I'm just concerned.

What do you mean by milled diff gears. Arent the diff gears machined? What do you prefer? I'm just wondering , I'm not challenging anything your saying. Thanks

Cool MugenMan. I can respect your opinions. This is the first i.ve heard of bevel gears. I've run atleast 6-8 gallons through mine, and they still look new??

Imagine what the XB8 will be like in a few years. The new inovations that XRAY have put forth will definatly be copied by the other brands. And i don't blame them as this is all part of making a better car.

Just remember, this is XRAY's FIRST try. Give it some time. Yes the Mugen is a very strong car, but with the improvements that Xray makes on a regular basis, the XB8 will be just as strong in time to come.

OK, that's my last post on this subject. Don't wanna beat a dead Mugen while it's down!! haha

Just kidding. Please, keep reading and posting, and maybe you'll move over to the XRAY camp one day.

I love being a die-hard racer!! Trash talk is one of the best parts!!!!

Please keep the XRAY forum focused on XRAY cars. This is the place to post if you like or dont like the XRAY. Admins and moderators would like to avoid any discussion of tpye: BMW is better than Mercedes, as these discussions bring personal feelings and start flaims.
Please respect all manufacturers, everybody makes very hard job to keep the customer happy and at the same time nobody is perfect. This place is for all XRAY fans so it is obvious it is XRAY-biased.
Thank you for understanding.

up front, when I move/rock gently the front wheelaxle, I notice the bearings move in the steering blocks, I would like them to be tight in there

rear the same, when I move/rock the upper camber link, I see the rear hub carrier move on the susp.pins below
and suspension arm has 1-2 mm free play on the pin in front also
