XBe brother

[BoukeG]

So I was at another local hobby shop last week and found this one:

A carson dirt attack xxl... Exactly an XBe. With a 'different' colour scheme though.


Funny... I like redcat better anyway!

 

[GTS 666]

Agree the Redcat body is alot better.

 

[Deluge1]

Like the AI color!

I wouldn't consider it. IMO the XBEs body looks cooler. If you don't like it slap a Grafil XBE-G on her.

 

[BoukeG]

It is not only the body... The white springs, the coloured details etc.

I ordered a set of springs from them for my really build. I will just give it a try...

 

[kaztheminotaur]

Do they have a distributor in the USA?

 

[bigfol]

They are distributed under the REDCAT banner in the US, they are HSP in Australia, HPI now sell them under a different name as well, they are also called the "FABLE" in other parts of the world, they all come from a factory in china.....

 

[kaztheminotaur]

Yeah, I knew they were all related. I thought I had seen Carson branded stuff here in the USA.

 

[BoukeG]

So here in the netherlands we can grab both brands... Funny...

Shameless plug!

Just backing our own!

 

[twissted]

Wow, HPI is on board?

 

[bigfol]

Yep, its called the HPI Maverick Vader XB.

 

[Deluge1]

I like the body on the HPI version.

Yes, very fast. Racing up sand dunes and rooster tail of sand kicked back while front wheels lift off the ground and tires balloon. Many vids like this are now commonplace. Care to lift the body off while the cameras are on? I think there would be twice the excitement to see what's underneath than there is watching this "sand dune" drag go on repeatedly forever.

Tell us what you really think.......LOL, but yeah I have to agree, it would be nice to see under the cover.

 

[Deluge1]

I'd like to see what's under there, as well.

 

[BoukeG]

I like to know as well. However... I think it is running on 8S. And it has holes in the body above the motor.

Apparently I'm telling "us" what we are all thinking..
