Hey Kalbien, greetings from a fellow european guy.
I'm from Belgium, and I have to order parts in the states too, since they are the cheapest there.

Are you running a brushless xt8? I'm running the non-2009 version, and I think you will be just fine if you buy the big-bore shocks. The drivetrain of the "old" one is still fine if you have a good motor. As we all know, an xray doesn't break easily, so buying a second truck (especially if your old one is slightly used), and keeping the old one just for spares is a bit overkill, in my opinion. Especially when the parts you'll have spare are just the diffs and the plastic parts, since all the rest has been updated.
