I am eye-balling an XBE....I like that it is relatively light for a 4x4. The losi 5ive is so heavy, plus I would have to sell off all the gas parts...and would still end up spending a ton of money to convert it.

Has the XBE been durable for you? That is my one reservation...I had an Redcat Rampage and was constantly breaking dogbones, drive cups and plus it was heavy as well.

I so much wish the XBE had a center diff. or someone would make one.

Sorry Kirky, missed your post somehow. I love my XB-E, aside from the stock tire foams, and stock wheel bearings its been flawless. I upgraded the knuckles and rear uprigths to 7075rc unit with larger sealed bearing so no worries there. I love it man, it kicks the crap out of any gasser I have ever owned.

The FighterCat escs still seem to have some bugs that need to be worked out:

It was interesting to see in the e-Baja section of HBF that people assumed Castle was incompetent since it had some difficulties with the Mamba XL. And many had hope that FighterCat (a much much smaller company) was going to be able to produce a reliable esc without going through the same issues that Castle has had to deal with.

So people are having problems with the car ESC. I read the problems in the HPI Baja forum and it's the same problem as the Suppo 30A ESC I tested, but I stopped right away to avoid the magic smoke . I hope Ben asks the manufacturer to work out the bugs so the car ESCs can be another choice for everyone.
