XB8, Novvarossi 421b, where to buy?

[Sgt Blamo]

1st I would like to say thank you to all the fine people here who said they thought that the deal I was looking at was a scam. I believe it was either a scam or the guy was clueless, nonetheless, I will not be buying it as he attempted to change the price and terms of payment after the fact. I have informed Ebay Security and they are looking into it. I NEVER break my word unless someone changes things without my consent.

Now to the heart of the matter:
I'm inquiring of some good sources to purchase an XB8, two good servos, a good quality motor like the one mentioned and a good starter box.
Any help you can give would be greatly appriciated. In addition, any advice as to what's the best all around motor (421B,WS7II, P-5,etc,etc.) would be great too.
Thanks again RCNitro community!

$720 with free shipping for the kit.

You should check RushRC first and see if he can get you one. Not sure if he carries Xray stuff.

check this sites prices rob....720 seems a bit high.....
this is my LHS and they know their stuff......they also match and usually beat Tower prices...plus the 6.95 shipping thing they got going is pretty good...

I would still check rush though as he is a sponsor of this site.....and might do you solid as well...never hurts to ask him...

As far as the engine goes i hear that the ws7II is a killer engine. Great power and decent longevity.

Miami,
Yup that would be me! Guy Flaked out Majorly, see my summary on the "just bought a XB8"thread.
I was told that the 421B is a VERY powerfull motor, but requires a lot of tuning and isn't recommended unless you're a really good tuner. What has been your experiance with it?

421b is a great motor tonnes of power low and high, in fact border line on to much low end power, but i had reliability issues with it same as a lot of people, damn thing would run perfect for 4 minutes then just stop for no reason, put it back on the starter and it would fire imediatley was like it sudenly didnt get fuel for a sec, other than that i couldnt fault it awesome motor
