Losi 8ight X

[crucialRC]

Think about an Xray? Shipping should be cheaper.

Xray? Send a link??

 

[crucialRC]

They are a company based out of Europe and they are one of the top ranked racing teams in the US. Everything about them are spot on. https://teamxray.com/xb8/2019/en/

Edit: They just came out with the 2019 Spec, so the '17 or '18 Specs should be a lot cheaper now.

An xray here 9500=$655

I'd do X-ray than, alot cheaper.

 

[DougStar]

Mugen is also here but costs even more than the 8x?

 

[crucialRC]

I would definitely go with the Xray kit. I just got a '17 spec used buggy shipped from Nicosia CY(Wherever that is ) for 200 euros.

Damn 200 eur?!!! That's Soo cheap!

I know right! When the new platforms come out people sell the older ones for cheap just to supplement the $700 price tag for the new stuff.

xray is nice.........but i think id still buy the losi even though it costs a bit more
the other option would be tlr 4.0 truggy $600 here

 

[crucialRC]

Because of part availability? ? Because Xray is a far better platform. My Xrays

 

[DougStar]

Because parts support and the online LHS looks more established like there is a contact us button??? .
http://www.xray-sa.co.za/index.html not like the xray ,?? Disappointing coz they look good........and I feel uneasy spending at a place where I cant get customer care?

The 4.0 is dead end. Spares will be a around for years though, I still run a 2.0, but the 4.0 is the last of the Imperial 8ights. I'd personally go for a Tekno, as they are far more friendly when it comes to moving from one generation to the next and their returns policy in broken parts is pretty good.

Hey bill not sure if we get tekno out my way? I'll have to investigate.....post a pic of your nitro....if you have ine??

 

[Phill2]

me....I'll never own a nitro again.. .been there done that

I love my 1/5 but my nitros are still fun too.
The neighbours seem to prefer nitro to a Jetpro pipe too
Ive got Thunder Tigers but no pics in this tablet.

 

[DougStar]

Yip I'd like yo try???
Could only be fun and I'm sure i have the aptitude to make it run right

No nitros here.. converted them all to electric. Can't be dealing with all that fiddling.

 

[DougStar]

Cant be that bad + what joy hour s of faking around????

Its really not hard to tune em.
Probably different if you're racing but for bashing I rarely have to touch mine.

Not a lot of messing around with a good platform and good engine. People forget the Golden Rule...You get what you pay for.??
