LOL... i think people wouldnt be scared to try somthing new...
in my opinion if a RC company redesign's and release's a new buggy's as fast as Team Magic has i think it means they realy want to make a good product. ..u know they had to loose a little money...but they didnt give up ...
look at their onroad stuff they care about racing and being competitive

and i dont know what happend to tmizz i just hope he's ok...its really rare not to hear from him on this thread he's got a good short vid of some practice laps on youtube....

Yeah, I've checked their site and it looks like they have some parts. I'm still debating the B8rs vs the XB808. I will be doing a brushless conversion too so I have an added apprehension with the B8 since it hasn't been done as far as I know. I really like the buggy though. I'll just keep an eye on this thread and see what turns up.

it helps you change/tune center diff faster....really all they did was rotate it to the side still sorta like most buggy's just a little different angle/link set up..
..your right though looks different ..i love trying new design's...i get sick of the same ole same ole...somebody's got to try new stuff or we'd all still be racing gold tub b4's...LOL
