As for the weight differences no not yet, but I did order a special scale that goes to the grams so I’ll have it all figured out soon.

For what it’s worth,
Per the replays I’ve received from the Teamxray site the total weight difference between the Alu and the stock is like 40 grams..

We’ll see..

Have a great one and I’ll see you in few hours..

Shaun,

Sorry I didn't reply sooner (hope you didn't have to figure out I wasn't there!). I had to get up at 6am this morning and got ready quickly to leave for a full day of hiking up in the San Bernardinos. Unfortunately I didn't have time to read the forums until now.

However on Friday I'll be working the opening shift, 11am-4pm.

40 grams is nothing! Just hope they aren't lying to you...

Fantastic builds , i'm drooling .

if you want you can donate to my "get my buggy going" fund

great job as always. i really wanna see a video of you driving BOTH at the same time while filming

Thanks for the kid words Tc3.. I'm taking all of my builds with the family camping for two weeks I hope to have some great action shots & video when I get back..

I wish I could donate to the "get my buggy going found" but I need to donate funds to the Keep you house and family running program.. “however” If you can get my wife to go back to work after 12 years off, I’ll give you the 808 of choice, hell I’ll give them both to you!!.. But that will never happen..

The latest / new one is the right side with the old 808 body..

As for under room comparisons, the pro line body has a total of 46mm height off the deck, the 808 body has 44mm off the deck.. Or another way to look at it is:
I can use 4500mAH on my 808 body and 5000mAH with my pro line body before I need to shim it up..

Hope that helps and thanks for the comments..

Have a great day

Shaun.

Thanks Jay! I'm just rying to keep up with you! / the Jones Haaaa haaa. ... As for Jerry I’ve been asking for pics for months now.. He’s just not in the sharing mode. (??)

Have a great one Sir..

Shaun.

Hey SHaun it is not that I do wish to share info/photos, but as you well know I have been a bit busy with matters of greater importance. We are in transit right now and not having the means or the resources to post up photos is a problem. It will be mid August before we are actually settled in to our new home and then we have to unpack all of the toys for me to have access. Sorry for teasing you, but life goes on. Plus I have to figure out how to post up stuff in the way of photos as I have never done that before. My skills are limited when it comes to the PC.

I do love the builds that I have done, but I am sure that there have been many just like them in one place or another. Still they are pretty cool to me. Sorry for pushing your patients to the limit, but I will get them up on here soon. Have a good day gents.

I'm sorry Sir (just a little raz) I know you have much more important things to do in your life at this point and I wouldn’t have it any other way.. But it is GREAT to hear from you and I really do hope you get settled in your new era, setup the kids and can finely start to have some DAD fun again.. Please keep us updated on your whereabouts and have a great time..

Shaun.

Definitely looking forward to seeing them run though. My 8ight with the new motor may give them a run for their money though... The next SoCal bash will be sweet once we can get everyone there on one day with everyone's newly completed projects.

Hay Josh..
Thanks for the comments Sir.. You know me I’ll use both for both.. I'm looking forward to running with you and your new BAD ASS 8ight.. It looks like a great project and your setting it up just right..

Have a great time on the 17th and please post pics..

Thanks Jay..
I've sent out two more bodies to get done (buggy and Truggy), one a Russian fighter and an old UK fighter the one with the blue shield and the three gold crowns... One day I'll have an entire squadron.. All but Germany, I just cant find it in me to do the Nazi thing.. But I'm hopping to have everything else and then I can get a bunch of buddies together and have dogfights.. of course after a few toties

Those are both awesome buggies! You have some DEEEEEEP pockets to afford all that LOL

Sure I can, I'm an equal opportunity basher,

Thanks for the kind words.. It does take some deep pockets, but as long as the wife thinks it $300 buggy (I show her adds in from hobby people on something else) heee hee I'm always good to go.. Not quite @ linc $500 a month habit, but close..

No worries sir.. thanks for the invite to the races.. I’ll be stopping by tomorrow for some more of your custom work..

I ordered up a scale that should be here any day.. Once I get it I'm striping down both ride (time permitted) and doing weighing comparison.. We’ll see exactly how much weight it adds..

Have a great one and I’ll see you in a few hours..

Shaun.

Fricken reality hearts / Bites...

Tell me about it , i have spent over $3000 in the last month . I'm the bank manager in the house

I have to say after reading your whole build i don't think i have ever seen anyone on a forum quote and reply to every ones comments before , and being so polite

I too love my fighter planes and warbirds and love your themes , but going with the Germans what about the German version of the Eurofighter .

You could get the top of the buggy painted like the cockpit with the windows and then have rivets / panels painted on the body since the fighter is only one boring colour.
Don't forget the German cross either on the sides

[TDC57]

Thanks you for the kind words, I like to take the time to thank everybody who stops buy and says hay.. This is a great site with some truly fanatic individuals with quite a few of different / funny personalities so for me it's worth every moment..

I do like your idea on the open cockpit, I've got rivets on a one buggy build now and one on my GM build with rust leaking out behind each rivet, bullet holes on the side of fus, ect. It's been a blast and since I'm the only one doing it at the moment by project always stand out (just a little) from everybody else’s. Much like BB16 loves to say "I feel special now"

Thanks for your time and have a great weekend..

Shaun.

P.s.
NO Germany!.. I just can do it!..

Haha , fare enough .

It would be great to see the body with the rusting rivets and bullet holes . Do you have a gallery that i can look at .

Question on your receiver box. What have you used and how did you attach it to the servo mount , looks very neat .

[TDC57]

No.. Not yet, give me a few weeks to get some of my boddies back and then I will "for sure"..

here is link to the RX box if your still looking for one (?).I like to use Traxxas due to they are water tight..

Champ Shaun , thanks for the links

[TruckBasher]

Another nice conversion. I must say you really have the most expensive collection. XRAY is really expensive, its the only reason why I havent got into them at this point. Hope to see some vids soon...

[Mister-T]

There aluminum hop part are expensive but it's not Integy aluminium...
You can keep the buggy with default equipement, This is still one if not the most robust buggy on the market. 2 people here sell there brand new RC8 for a 808. our track is very unforgiving, Even on a short run (1 hour) you can see the difference.

Price is hight because Xray is made in Europe and the actual currency is the Euro.
Right now
1 € = 1.52 $
I supsect Xray to make almost no margin on US market.
