Trying to decide between this xray and mugen. I am not a very good driver and my current durango is just too nervous and unstable. I run a medium low-med outdoor mainly. Are these things great with out of the box set ups? What are people changing and what spares are needed?

I came from a Durango to this and believe it's also your best option as it was mine, the car is so easy to drive and not nervous at all especially compared to the Rango, the box setup is awesome, especially when you get the white tapered pistons 1.3x8 hole part no. If347-138.
You'll hardly ever change the setup from track to track like you did the Durango, the setup just works everywhere pretty much, do yourself a favor and bite the bullet on this, you won't be disappointed.

Cheers Justin

Haha glad to hear because I just bought one a few minutes ago!! ok so white tapered pistons, it has light blues all around are they what I need? I notice a lot at track run them in front and a orange on back on all kinds of cars. I run the light smc shorty 4600 pack if that helps. any thing else I will be wanting for race or spares next weekend? Thanks!!

Awesome, the orange springs are used when grip is low, I'm finding the standard kit springs to be fine, there are some option parts you could get but you don't need them, it depends on your wallet, I got them just so I built it bullet proof from the start.

Keep in mind you don't the need the parts listed above, there just extra strength and bling, I'd just get a set of arms and maybe hinge pins in case you have a huge stack, or buy titanium hinge pins and has the originals as spares.

Happy building, also smc shortys are awesome.......

Did anybodies kit come with the white 1.3x8 pistons? I read a # of pages back that somebody said theirs did. I bought a new but assembled kit from a guy and all he remembers is there is a black and a white set that came with the kit

Mine did come with white extra pistons but they were 1.2 x 8.

Decided to go with mp9e tki over the mugen Eco m spec. Simply because I wanted it in kit form. This will be my first 1/8 ebuggy. Now that I've decided on wich buggy, I need help with deciding on what electronics I should put in.

So far I think I'll be going with the tekin rx8 gen2 and T8 motor combo (any other suggestion are welcome). What motor KV are most running ( 50/50 bashing and racing). Haven't ran @ this track before but its a medium size medium bite track.

As for servo & battery not sure yet.., need suggestions. My budget is $100 for servo and maybe $140 for a 4s. Also does the mp9e tki accept side by side (like 2s+2s) If so, what do most prefer, single 4s or 2 2s?

I think that's about it for questions. Thanks for any help.
