Xray XT8-E '09 - RC-Monster Forums

SavageCanadian · 03:57 PM

Picked up this '09 XT8 a couple of months ago knowing I wanted to run a electric truggy for next year and since my Xray T3 works so well on the carpet I knew xray was the way to go for the dirt as well. Just got the conversion a couple of days ago, so it was time to convert her over. The conversion is really well built, everything went together smoothly, awesome job Mike

I also went for the optional receiver box which cleans all the electronics up nicely. Im going to run a Tekin RX8 with the 2250 truggy motor on 4s. I picked up a 16t pinion but I have no clue of thats going to work well or not, any suggestions? The body is the Bulldog for the MBX6T. Anyways here are some pics, and yes I know I need to lower the rear body mounts

I love that Bulldog body!!

The car looks clean, you'll enjoy running it ;)

Man that thing looks awesome, I think the body looks fine as it. Great Job!

Thanks guys, the motor system should be here early next week so I can get it dialed in before the season comes to a close.

very nice indeed. Mike does make THE best conversion kits around...often duplicated but never replicated.

Well I got the motor system mounted up and programmed. Hopefully the 16T pinion is ok for the first test. I also lowered the rear of the body and it looks even better now

Just need to put it on the setup station and then get it on the track

Nice Looking truck! Gotta love XRAY! I am running 5s with a 1550kv motor, I am geared 14/46 and am still messing around with that new timing feature in the software. I dont really think there is an exact setup for everyone, but you might want to give the speed calc a try. http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/

Thanks guys, do you know any plastic mod1 spurs that fit the xray center diff?

Do yourself a favor and pickup a Slipperential. Mike offers delrin gears and it will save your entire drive system. A friend’s Losi without Slipperential is looking at new drive pins after one season of racing.

Awesome truck! I have an XRAY XB808 2010 Spec Buggy and a 2009 Spec Buggy, both with Mike's BL Conversion kits on them, and it just doesn't get any better! A soon as the new XRAY Truggy comes out, I am going to buy it, then wait on Mike to make a conversion for it!!!

XRAY really is the finest in radio control, they make the absolute best parts & vehicles...IMO!

Any updates on this truck? The layout is so clean, so simple.

SavageCanadian · 04.30.2011, 03:19 PM

Well im taking it out to its first race tomorrow and I cant wait, picked up a hudy 1/8 setup station so once i dial it in it should be a bullet.

SavageCanadian · 05.02.2011, 01:20 PM

Well ran it yestorday, its definatly a lot quieter with the delrin spur. The truggy is crazy fast, I was .4 of a second off beating the track record on a dirt track and half worn out tires. Love this truck

SavageCanadian · 02.01.2012, 08:34 PM

This truck is up for sale, anyone interested email me at savage25canadian@hotmail.com

Sorry you have to get rid of such an awesome truck...maybe you can build a new one sometime in the near future!
