actually its due to lap times. he tested the buggy in florida with a slightly modified setup from stock, vs. his ofna. and turned consistantly faster times. the next day he started tuning the xray's setup and got even faster yet. I'm sure there was money involved, but josh's dad, and josh have both confirmed this as the reason for him to switch.

TQ Aigon

actually Yannick Aigon, steps over to xray because he wanted a full time job in the business and hyper couldn't offer a confinient one at the moment, RB did.
he will be a new staff member of the RB Team from April 2005. I will join Rody in the R&D department and the racing team as far as the development and technical support is concerned for all the RB racing products.

so he's an employee overthere now and I will represent the xb8 and RB, at international level races,
it's going to be interesting to see what comes out off that !!

 

[kyosho138]

Me too, I can't wait till the big races and see how Team XRAY does against all the competition---You dont hear of much talk about the XB8----Its all Mooogen, TTR, and K cars. Very quite on the XB8 :shrug: I guess time will tell!

Well, Xray only just started out putting together their team. I've been seeing more and more Xrays popping up in the A Mains that I've read about.
