XRAY - Model racing cars

Whitey,

I won't hesitate to raise any issues with the 808 which is evident by my posts, however, these are small issues that can be rectified.

Shocks = ballons/shock boots
Bearings = ali knuckles and uprights to use larger bearings if you choose. Swap out diff bearings by removing the dust covers. Use AVIDS too.
CVD = ali braces to reduce flex for big jumps
Towers = ali or round edges before glueing
Bulkhead = CVD related issues
Stock issues will resolve themselves after the on road world titles as assume there has been a shift in production at the XRay factory temporarily.
Price= A lot of cars are $630 US now for example the RC8T

Nothing is perfect and there be issues with everycar. Kyosho is reknown for having diff breakages.

Personally, I really like the 808 and wouldn't drive anything else - period.

I drove an EC not long ago and comparing to the 808 is chalk and cheese. The 808 is superior to its predecessor X 10 times and will be the the best drivers car available for some time.

It's that good I came first in Pro buggy in my second race and I've never driven buggy before and only started racing in January. It certainly makes you look good on the track!

PS. I still would like to see optional parts come in a higher spec model to provide better value to the racers.

Sounds good guys. I will keep watching to see how all your do but I dont land all my jumps so if this buggy isnt tuff enough for a crappy driver like me then no go, lol.

I dont know about Kyosho issues but I figured there had to be some. I will look into those when it comes out as well. I hate the idea of having to option part any kit to make it work better. I wish those critical parts would just come with the kit and then the bling stuff truly be optional yet not needed.
