Hi, yes it's a bit confusing the XB8E is the newer model. It has been released this year and is a replacement of the XB9E.
The differences is that the front end of the XB8E is more agressive, it provides a sharper steering and faster response. The XB9E is more planted feeling, more forgiving also.

I'm leaning toward the XB9E just to have a less aggressive setup, that seems to suit me better for my driving preference.

Thanks for the clarification... if I were to buy a used XB9E... what are some common breaks that I might expect to see... and would any of those parts be compatible with the XB8E?

Thanks Daniel... if I go with a XB8E... is the caster fully customized by tuning the front pivot balls? I wouldn't mind getting the XB8E if I can make it equally as stable to drive as the XB9E. It seems like the XB8E has more tuning options without having to buy extra parts, or am I mistaken?
Do you have a setup sheet available for your XB8E? I really liked the way it handled at 439 when you let me test drive it once a while back.

Correct. I worked setup on the xb9 for as long as I owned it to get it how I looked it... The xb8 started good.. Small tweaks and its money.
Your more than welcome to get my setup from me.. In don't have it on the website.. As I haven't changed much.. When u get it done.. Bring it by.. We will put it on the setup station. Get it all good to go.. If I get to the track early enough.. We can run some packs.. And tune it for ya.

xb8e chassis
I can't help but notice the similarity in the chassis layouts between the xb9e and xb8e. Does anyone know if I could run the the xb8e chassis on my xb9e with little to no modification?
