Are there an truggy bodies that will fit with modifications or differently shaped bodies for the xb8e?

you will have to find some old retro truggy bodies.. possibly ebay or something.. any new truggy bodies are obviously too long.. like.. ofna dominator, or something similar.

30x26.5x14.5mm - Sanwa RX-371W. But three sheets of sandpaper later, I solved that. Widened the receiver box and narrowed the receiver itself. It's tight and the receiver box is little bit stretched, but it works.

Has anyone been able to get ahold of the Lexan wing (353512) or the High Speed Body (359711) for the XB8E yet? I cant find them in or out of stock anywhere except the Xray site and their shop has been down for months. Its like they do not actually exist in the US.

I checked Hooligan RC a couple of days ago during my initial search and didn't see them there. At least I couldn't find it via the part number or any variations of search terms that included xb8. Happen to have a link to it directly?

Does the XRAY Hudy Spring Steel Rear/Center CVD Driveshaft 355625 share a part number with another less expensive shaft? I've bent 2 in the last 6 runs. $35 for that shaft is insane.

Mugen universals will work. Are you running the 16 or 17?

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I have been on the road and haven't had time to check back. I messaged Mickey back and figured id reply here too. I actually called RC America back and found they got some back in stock so I ordered one from them.
