Guys, whining for parts really gets boring and it is also pathetic. You are adults deal with it... Your car is broken? Can't get it fixed? Then go have some fun with your family they will appreciate it

Coming here to throw shit at Xray don't make the plane/customs/distributon etc any faster.

I crashed the living crap out of mine over the last three weeks and have not broken anything! Touch wood! The only thing I broke was the molded sway bar ball, when I was twisting the ball cup off. Other than that the car is tough, and I love it! It got me a TQ in 19T and a win in stock over the weekend. Thanks for the power Brood and SMC!

ps: We have two T2's in stock at PM Hobbycraft in Calgary Alberta Canada. $519.99 CDN. If you guys want a kit for parts?

This means you have never raced an Xray or raced against one. Its pretty comon to have the plastic shock body break. The aluminum shock bodies was the 1ST upgrade I made for my Xray cars.

I have raced with my Xray for over a year and never broke a shock or even seen any of the dozen Xrays at out track break a shock.

I broke the plastic front blades and one 2mm chassis. Thats it.

The shocks fit, but they are different. The T2 shocks center the piston in the shock body. Take a T2 shock body and compare it to a T1 sie by side...you'll see the difference.

Okok, forgotten to say: Use a pair of T1 shocks untill you can get the new T2 shocks. But watch out they are different.

I tried to shorten my reaction, but left some critical info out of it.

Drivers: My kit is here. It's so beautiful, I can't wait to drive it.
Drivers: It drove great, right into the wall. Now it's broken and there are no parts.
Drivers: You suck XRay, how dare you sell me this car before spares were available.
Drivers: You're the great Overlord, you must protect us from ourselves.

XRay: STFU


Okay, I see your point. You guys are right, XRay is just terrible for this parts situation. Clearly they deserve your ire.




Thats funny right there, i dont care who you are...

That sound great Smyka. Let us know how it works.

Also I heard from another racer who was at the Magma race this past weekend in Canada that Mike Blackstock actually split his T2 chassis in a crash and luckily he had another one. But get this I heard the new graphite chassis he replaced it with was a 3mm not a 2.5mm which is crazy. Because this car was supposed to be able to run on asphault and then be able to hit up a carpet track with a couple of changes. Just thought i'd let you all know that. 3mm chassis huh...
