Xray Xt8

same basic set-up, moved the esc., still need to get a ubec, and i changed to 18 tooth pinion/have not ran it though

also painted a body today , just did a fade job, looks better in the pics then in person, but it will get beat bad come spring

nah, that body looks great. good job!

uh-oh - is that a non-hardened steel pinion i see? you might want to try the kyosho plastic spur - that's what i'm going to try once i get my eXT8 back in a week or two. supposedly you just have to drill the holes to 4mm and it'll fit.

nice job!!

yeah i may try that, i have not run this pinion, i got it with my crt.5 i bought, i will have to get a hardened one then

how can you tell the diff. between the two?

love the paint job, very nice!!!


Do you know how much is weights? Mine is 10lb 5.8 oz with a 5s 6000 in it.

the last few hardened pinions i bought from RCM have been the near-black color... but maybe the older hardened ones weren't that dark. it was just a guess.

thanks, i just should have used more yellow and orange, it got to dark in the back, but it will work

i dont know the weight on it around 10 +


this pinion is a light bronze, so it must not be hardened

what size plastic spurs are available??

44,46,48?

and all i need to do is make the screw holes bigger?

ya, when I talked with Mike last, he said it is only making hardend steel pinion gears now, the steel ones were steel in color, with no bronze.

I ran mine for the first time, wow, this thing is a dream compared to my e-maxx. I can't believe how nice it does on corners.

i know, when i drove mine , i got done and 5 min. later i started to take apart my g3r, i knew i would never want to drive it again, and besides i used the electrics out of it

but it is lighter , easy to work on , and handles much better

one large rc is enough

[ncalenda]

funny, I did the same to my e-maxx!!

some new video, very icey snow, no traction

the 2nd one i was jumping the wing breaks off, 25*f temps and xray parts = new parts

made a top diff. plate to mount electrics to and will soon be getting a ubec and trimming up the rx wires....
