Well, I received my XB8 today . What a downright beautiful buggy !!! I have run xrays in the past but it was a good 6-8 years ago and I forgot how awesome they are !
So , my decision on the MXB5 or the XB8 is settled. I do really LOVE the longer chassis and the wider stance of the MXB5 with the MSR conversion though . I also ran across a Kyosho Inferno GT before both of those and already purchased the Motor mount from Mike. Now I need to move the Inferno GT and the MBX5 if anyones interested before they hit ebay. I will make a thread specific for them tomorrow.
Anyways, heres some beginning pics of the XB8 . Need to work on the motor mount a little
