XB8 or RC8???

I say

Xray all the way, IF you have parts support

The RC8 is one nice buggy, and usually AE always has support

Well, the reviews that I've read from the same source (can't remember the magazine) said that the RC8 performed slightly better. The XB8 had a little looser rear end and not as much turn in if I remember correctly. But I have to say if I were to do a buggy I would probably figure out a way to convert the M1. That thing is pimpy.

I think Xray is actually coming out with another revision of their buggy though aren't they? If you could tune the loose back end and steering on the XB8 - I say Xray. But hey, I'm a little biased now that I have a XT8.

Just Picked up an XB8 roller on ebay. Decision was made for 3 reasons... A) I couldnt find any lightly used RC8s out there. B) Xray just looks pimpin with the beveled black anodized aluminum, and Mikes X-Ray mount looks just as pimpin. And last I want to try the new diff Xray is working on. I'm hoping it will take brushless power unlike the existing torson difs out there.

In reality I'm probably not a good enough driver to really tell the difference between the 2 buggies anyway. Have they come out with one that automatically stays on the track and always lands wheels down yet?

Congrats! Did you get a TQ or an EC?

[jhautz]

Got the EC.
Daf your XT8 was basically the inspiration. It just looked so clean and the black and silver looks so good.

I will probably keep an eye out for a deal on an EC to run as a Nitro also. I really want to set up 2 buggies identiaclly except for the power source and see which one I can be faster with on the same track. you know... Same driver, Same track, Same buggy, Same setup. Kinda my own head to head comparison.
