Heck yes, Xray used some of Losi's ideas, but at least we were the first to do it! LOL! (I think thats why we catch so much flack from the forum complainers) And I am glad they did use some of those ideas!
The problems us Xray drivers have with people always saying that the 808 is just an 8ight copy is that Xray didn't just xerox the 8ight and put their name on it. Xray took 2 Losi elements (zero kingpin and big bores) of that were really great and added them to their car. Nothing else on the car comes from Losi specifically. All the other design changes were changes that every new car strives for: lower weight and mass centralization.
So, the Xray was certainly inspired by the 8ight in a big way, but that is a great thing, because if they wouldn't have used some of the ideas from the 8ight the 808 wouldn't be as fast as it is. Xray took buggy design one step higher yet with the 808.
Plus the 808 is better than the 8ight!
