I am thrilled!

My Novarossi 35 Plus .21 finally has a purpose.
I am so glad I waited 3 summers & didn't compromise.
My investment will feel all the more worthwile now.

RX8, what a great name to join the NT1's side :!:

I made a snapsot and did make it a bit brighter:

So far to see:
- Low radio plate
- Brake on the gearbox shaft (not rear axle)
- high tank cap
- U shape anti rollbar (not the V setup)
- Not sure but the dark rear bulkhead tells me a one piece bulkhead from a plaastic (not the 2-piece aluminium setup like the Velox, 966 and MRX5)

Well, my MRX4 needs to be replaced and while the MRX5 does need a complete new collection of spares it makes the RX8 also interesting.

I wonder if Xray has picked up the new MRX5 clutch (copied from the new Sirio clutch), so far I was told the cluch is reacting faster and more powerfull.

I must say that I am impressed. The car looks good athough I do see some MRX4 and Motonica simulairities. Also the performance on the Winternats looks good but that is a certain type of track you can not find anywhere else but I do believe if it goes well over there it will perform good anywhere.

Some things what I do not like
- tank is under the radio tray, removing the tank to get a quick acces in the car is not possible
- The front upstops are mounted on the anti rollbar, that does make it more difficult to get it right.
- There is no splitted bulkheads to get an easy acces to the front and rear belt.
- the short middle shaft with the 2 pulleys is sticking out a lot, a longer middle shaft bracket looks to me more safe and causing less vibrations.
- Non adjustable motormounts, I would like to set the gearmesh by myself.

Things I do like
- Full composite bulkhead design, no aluminium
- simple flex system but it is not easy to make a quick change in the pits
- normal mounting throttle servo, I never understood the extra performance of the lay down servo (the CG is amost the same).
- looks strong, thick parts are used.
- The U-shape rear anti rollbar, the V-shape is imo not the best option
