Both are very good cars, in fact the best made cars around and revolutionary in their own way
the XB8 uses a new suspension lay-out and chassis flex tuning
the RB R is no copy at all.. but a brilliant design too, it has a chassis that can use safely the in-line center transmission with an in-line brakesystem
parts are made fitting at 1/100 mm
you should be good with both

then RB is not twitchy as a Losi?

I've tried KYOSHO and liked it, how is it compared with the KYOSHO if you've tried it.

And thanx

I couldn't drive the car myself, but from what I hear the car runs nicely.. just needs a bit of tuning in like all
just need to use +1.5 mm wheelhubs around as the trackwidth is narrower than any other car
you got a PM..

Only ran mines box stock and it wasn't twitchy at all. Was planted and really close to an MP9 feeling.

Well I will just tell that I chose to drive the RB one.
First time with the cars was to a race. The quality of the cars are very good.

I qualified 6, in the Pro A-main electric class. better than expected with brand new car that I had never tested and in a class that I have never run before. I made a few adjustments on the car, but I'm sure I can get more out of it. but it feels really good, with plenty of steering without being loose.

Nitro Pro series. Here I had major problems getting it turned in. it was way too loose in the rear for me, on a very slippery track. I had to change almost the whole car setup to get it to fit me. I never got it dialed in as I wanted to, but it stil was a very fast car. I was knocked out in quart finals. But not because of the speed. I set the fastest lap times with 1 second per lap down to 2nd place, but i ran out of fuel

So now i am looking forward to test the car some more, I'm sure that the car is fast
