Just thought I would share my new build XT8

[Desert Rc]

So this is something I have been slowly building. I originally had a XB808 mate for her. I thought it would be cool to have a xray pair but I dont get to the track as much as I would like to, due to 55hr work weeks. I think imo that the Truggy is so much more fun just to mess around with so I just sold the xb808 this week. I am cutting back the fleet. I also sold the Losi 8T I had just cause I thought one truggy was enough. Another reason I sold some was due to my current obsession with SC trucks...OBSESSION. lol.

Took this around the house just now and everything is quite flawless....but what did I expect from Xray.

Really I posted this also to share the way I mounted my esc with spare aluminum off the servo tray. I dont know how original it is but I thought it turned out pretty smooth looking.




After esc install



I tried to off-center the esc a bit to put some more weight to the motor side to balance the weight of the lipo a bit. I dunno...well see how she does on the maiden voyage tomorrow.
