no poor insight.. I have 15 years of experience too
I mean, you have a problem with the system or not.. I am just allergic to it, I can't drive a buggy when I know, something can collapse anytime.. even if you maintain it properly it's in my caracter, I just can't handle it..and I live 100 kms from a track I will never race buggys that have the old insecured cvd driveshafts either, it's past time..
ok you can try things out .. but why keep all the hazzle with 13x19/20 bearings transmission for years with all the stress on drivers, the black grease everywhere staining the clothes, loosing races due to it, loosing customers for sure ..when the xb8/xt8 8x16 bearings/driveshaft system is better ?, if not the best ever... and you can concentrate on racing also xray can concentrate on other progressive designing ...it just doesn't at anything to the hobby, it is stopping the brands development..
Serpent now made the same mistake and even made it worse with those ridiculous small bearings everywhere.. my opinion and many others: this is no progress..it's going back in the future a buggy can be made light with normal bearings too, look at the JQ buggy.. with all the stress involved, a off-road buggy must be made super-robust in all his parts, or it's not a good buggy..that's the bottom line, none other..
parts are cheaper for you guys and you have time to work on your buggys, but every commun driver I know wants the normal driveshafts back, in the first place because they are just better
I know already of dozens of drivers, that will go back to xray, if xray makes the changes.. they all, were not ok with the idea they had to sell their 808, but they had to, because they couldn't cope with the problem anymore..so why keep a problem alive, that needs to be killed..
I just know for sure, you will come out with the normal driveshafts, as the salesfigures probably speak for themselves...
