sup guys quick question is there any talk about xray coming out with a new buggy. reason I'm asking is i saw the xb8 for $600 at ace. usually when they start dropping the prices something new is coming out, but not sure just wanted to see if someone heard anything. if not well i think i might have a winter project (kekekeke) :cheers:
 
no
just in france a euro version is for sale with the 2 tq sets included
but no tools or battery then for 699 euro
 
they don't need to improve the design of the current buggy....maybe just include the front chassis brace and engine mount in the kit.....I bought a used one and have put over 10 gallons on it since, Same bearings and Universals too...it rocks
 
I've had an OFNA 9.5 po, an MBX-5, and a K-3......I've tried the Mayhem, 777 sp-1, Hyper-7, GS Storm pro, and Lightning buggies.....the XB-8 was the first one that just seemd to fit my driving style right away....worth every penny
 
Make sure it's not an overpriced ready to run. They released and XB8 that comes complete, I think you can find it cheaper like $450-500, much cheaper than the kit but you don't get all the nice options either.
 
the full option xb8 came down in price recently. if you look around it can be had for 580 shipped. iirc homer allman at the tiltyard sells it for that price.
 
jetmech the newer raycer version is still a kit...it's just like the MBX-5 is compared to the prospec.....although it does have the new CVDs instead of Universals...and thinner cheaper shock towers......it also comes w/ the soft plastic arms....
 
Gotcha, just didn't want to see anyone get taken by a misleading ad. Didn't know thr XB8 came down a little, might have to get one for next season.

Dear Santa, I was real good this year, I want an XB8 and....
 
I was told by the owner of my LHS that the price drop was due to a change in the exchange rate between the US $ and the Euro. Maybe he's BS'in me, I don't know.
 
It's a possibility but the dollar hasn't really gained much on the Euro, it's still almost $1.30+/- a few pennies to 1.00 Euro.

well then if you want to get rid of it, do it now. because if you drive it, you wont be able to let it go. the new chris crews setup is awsome!
