XRAY - Model racing cars

From the pictures of the prototype XT8e on the xray website it doesn't look like any changes from the 09 nitro model. Only thing that I see different is it looks like the inner hinge pins are the 808 style with the threaded pin and the nut rather than the e-clips. Any other changes planned?

Also, how an updated '11 spec kit for the nitro XT8 or will the 09' still be the kit for this year?

Nothing will change as far as the XT8 goes. It's been such a solid truck that there's not much to do plus with the ever growing Ebuggy class its taken away the focus from the Nitro Truggy class.

You can see it across the board with other manufactures not making many changes to theirs as well.
