Hi Mario and Ph Lim,
Im the driver that phlim was talking about with the broken spur and clutchbell.Before the race when the parts broke, testing was done at a local bmx track for a total of 2.5l of fuel.Jumps were not extreme and there was several occasions of bottoming. Gear meshing was maintained well and not visible signs of stones getting lodged in that area. Also, I noticed that the 2 of the 3 pins on the flywheel started creeping forward and eventually touching the clutchbell and stalling the engine. This happens about after 5-6 tanks. Solved the problem by using Loctite 609 on the pins.

As there are no similar reports yet, I guess your issue was just a bad luck. If you have some good digital camera, you may shoot a macro photo of the broken teeth and send to support@teamxray.com

I have the Thundertiger/associated/ofna starterbox.
It's compact, has a single high torque motor and fit's the xray perfectly.
It has more than enough power to start my new RB, so I'm sure it will start pretty much any engine.

Hello here is my XB8 I have used the cone pistons facing down in mine as they will give good dampening when aborbing jumps and give a quick rebound on small bumps as I race on a very bumpy track with huge jumps. Hust really need a 421B to complete it should be awesome. Hope you like?
