i cant speak for breaking parts as i havent broken any. I have the carpet edition, and it comes with 2 sets of arms for the front and the rear, and some other parts as double for medium and hard. i dont know if the dirt will have similar since it isnt released yet.
as far as the horn, mine came with 3 plastic horns, i think it was 23 to 25 tooth.
for the electronics, i had a bit of a hard time fitting my r10. i eventually was able to get it fit nicely, but i had some issues because i wanted to route my wires nicely.
i cant say enough about this truck. it is really terrific

Mhm just driving along and it snapped where others have also. Apparently it's user error due to not enough loctite but I'm not buying that answer. Didn't wanna really bring it up on rctech but others should know about the issue.
Rc America is taking care of me and shooting it off to Xray. On a plus note.. Rc America will be getting the front brass kickups this week.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Nice to go into a new model with some experience from actual owners. I'll be placing the pre-order today
The last time I raced off-road buggy was from the brushed days, so I have no idea where to gear this thing. Anyone have a rough starting point FDR for 17.5 blinky so I can make sure I have the right spurs/pinions?

I can't tell from the picture...did it break at the screw hole, or just outside of it?

75/34 or 35 for starters with a 17.5
Any suggests for gearing a 8.5 with a 78 spur?

Is that broken where the screw threads in? Looks like the hanger is simply weakened by the loss of material. Actually, if you don't use Loctite and if the part was loose, it would have a better chance of not cracking there; the hinge pin would have a higher chance of deforming the insert (or pulling out of it) vs. cracking the hanger. But I digress...

Team Orion has a link to their instruction manual that provides some recommended final drive ratios. Follow the link at the bottom of this page:

This should help you with finding a starting point for your 8.5t motor...

Just backtracking a little here, in regards to rear shock placement. Would it be best to run shocks in front of rear arms with less droop to compensate for arm angle on high bite carpet. Hopefully Bent can clarify.

My thoughts exactly. But typical Xray, it's all my fault for it breaking. I love Xray but sometimes those antics really bother me. Just like how the rr hanger was offset wrong on the xb4 but the customers must be blind and dumb because it was perfect...uhhhhuh. Here's a closer picture.
