XRAY - Model racing cars

I heard somewhare that these:
will also fit the XT8-09. Is this true? And is there perhaps a better, less expensive alternative?

And would you more experienced racers say these are just excess weight or worth the extra fifteen bucks? I have spared no expense on my Truggy thus far no sense in stopping now....

I dunno...those mud guards seem like they would kind of slow you down with wind resistance especially on straights. I wouldnt even buy them unless you were just a basher who wants to keep the truck free of debris cuz on the track I doubt you would really need these unless its a rainy muddy day and the track is sloppy.

Yep i also make my own easy done and done properly most will ask where you got them from.....

We are working on stone guards but just like other tests it takes time. So until things are finalised for specific custom made guards i would suggest using lexan & make your own for the time being.
They do work when conditions are bad, as they save filling up the rear wishbones with mud & protect the shocks & driveshafts keeping them allot cleaner. There is no significant effect on wind resistance or speed

If you have any friend flying heli's they use fiber carbon blader ask him to give an old one crashed, they are thin and very good looking

Nice! I don't have any heli friends, But my neighbor IS an aircraft mechanic who works with CF all the time. Great suggestion! Thanks.
