Careful though, Xrays site can brainwash u. Last time I read more than 3 pages I woke up at the track, in the rain, at night, with a giant chicken statue. I don't remember much more other than to never get mustard on Hudy spring steel.

rearviewmirror... go F***K some where else. If you are such a wise ass why did you even take the time to enter this thread and even right on it when you think you know more than God. Go write your bull***t somewhere else or go to play with your awfully looking easy girlfriend of the picture. I did ask the same at the Mugen forum, but since YOU did reply as an assho*** too i decided to nicely ask in MY OWN THREAD.

Why does anyone have to stick his nose where he doesnt??? I am making my research, whats wrong with that???

Remember.. the internet is not real life. You were so mad you couldn't even type! I win. Good luck... oh.. and buy the Mugen.

It's all good.... I was just messin' with you. Once you're around here enough you'll see the "which car is better" threads get really old. When I bought my Mugen I had no idea which people thought was better. I just remember the old days when Mugen was this highly expensive out of reach car and Kyosho was king. When I got back into it I bought the Mugen because of my old memories. Today, now that I've been around for a little a bit and been part of the racing seen I'd have a hard time choosing between a Mugen and an Xray. Since I already own an MBX6 I'll probably buy an MBX6T going all Mugen, but I always can help to wonder just how good the Xray is. Oh well, I can't drive for sh*t anyways, so it's all wasted. LD

hahaha.. no problem. I just hope i can get all the help i can get from drivers like you. I come from 5 years of monster trucks, i owned almost every brand and i started with not the cheapest but not the best truck etither.

I started to buy every single hop up there was available at that time and i spent almost 1.5K worth of alu parts, lighter tires, diferent clutch bells, clutch shoes, engines and after all that the truck just could keep racing more than 15 minutes.

Then i decided to get another brand, at that time i was on a low budget so i couldnt get the best truck but i really needed to get rid of my first truck. After two years i was able to get something better and i did so... i spent 650.00 bucks on the best truck that was available and since then i had no more problems.. .just maintnance due to wear... just as a real car.

Thats the main reason i want to research before investing. I dont want to make the same errors again, with the money i spent on those trucks i could have bought an HPI Baja buggy + many spares.

well, anyway... thanks to all of you for taking the time to answer a question thats probably been asken 500 + times.

Well since your coming from monster truck just flip a coin & wich ever it says it will be better in every way than any monster truck you've ever had reguardless of added hop-ups.

Just make sure that coin lands on 808.Now all you gots ta do is find a 3 sided coin.

Amainhobbies took out of their webpage the 808 and this was the reply i got when i sent them an email asking why:

--------------------------
Thank you for contacting us.

The XB808 has been discontinued. It is being replaced with a 2009 version. We should have them soon.

That is correct. They have changed it...they listened to what we told them and fixed all the problems..it is still the same buggy but improved..all the original parts and hop-ups will fit....I cant wait for the shock boots!
