this tread is worthless without pics!:005:

Sorry for delay, finaly assembled :rock it at also allready put some Option parts front alloy suspension holders from XB8TQ buggy. 95% truggy compatible with XB8 buggy even shocks are same. Tryggy looks solid and and you feel like you working on Buggy :) realy looks same allmost in every view.
Today just got my body from painting and made pictures from it too, need to cut some windows. Engine is AXE Mamba with Axe 3 chamber pipe EFRA legal. Need to clue tires and some minor stuff so i can go today make brak-in today for engine and drivetrain.
In one picture i put 9XL motor on chassis to look and compare size of shassis its pretty narrow.

SUPERB

Looks like you did a nice job on the body too :018:

If you can, next step is videos... :004: there is none of it on Youtube

Amazing

So today i Raced my XT8 on track, what i can say seems its OK. But need to learn it lot. Truggy is realy understeer on power, off-pwer steering is amazing and on loose surface hard to handle with that diff setup what i have (7k/10k/7k) and that stupid Engine. That Axe Rossi Mamba is realy PITA in tuning. Cant setup low needle it wont run properly on sudden full trottle it dies and when mid RPM coms it goes like crazy and so suddendly. What i can say need to learn a lot. Today lost position to A final becouse on start engine died. BTW 5 Xray's XT8 on track and first place got in XRay buggy XB8EC and XT8

Try 5k in the rear, and some more toe in for more steering. Maybe adjust ackerman and some harder springs in the rear. Mainly, experiment with diff oil.

What's that big orange thing doin' there?

That, Rene, stangely enough, is what you need these days to "compete".

Even in the face of the obvious evidence that EP would be better and easier in so many ways, nitro is still the standard in racing. And especially in places where RC is not very popular, it's hard to find a track that will let you do actual racing with BL conversions. Time for the revolution!

Yeah, better start the first brushless only track in Europe Daf... :) (HINTHINT)

Sorry for "orange" but i am realy wish to see some day EP 1/8 buggy/truggy class in raceing but unfortunatly at nowadays its illegal.
Again, looking forward to see BL conversion. Is someone here got XT8 too?

i actually annulled mine for now.
will wait to see if mike comes up with parts.
