That is his truck center diff cover in the pics.
The new radio tray still does not have a PT mount. The radio tray you see in the pics is my OutFrontFrames 2010 carbon radio plate with a built in PT mount that I removed from his 2010 car when I removed the electronics.

Does anyone know on the new aluminum hubs if the ball stud is long enough to put shims under the ball to be able to fine tune roll center? Thanks

You can add up to 3mm under the stud to raise it. It should come with a 2mm shim and a 1mm shim.

It actually says that you can go up to 5mm of shims if needed,on the instructions that came with mine.

What can I expect coming from the losi and mugen to be different better or worse than the xray. I know they are all good buggies so why did you choose xray. For a just a local club racer that is slow where should I start in my xray career 08,09,10 or 11 spec. Again I am new to xray buggies but have a couple xray 18th scale. I had buyers remorse so to speak with the mugen and losi and don't want to have the same feeling again with my next purchase so if I have to save up for longer to get the right spec buggy I will. Looking forward to your replies.

Xray is legendary for it parts quality and its fit and Finish. I had my 808 for 2 years plus and the only Issue I have with it is its pinion bearing collapsing on me if I did not check it on a race day. It might be better to get the 2011 version since it has the new bulkheads already plus refinements. I already have mine on pre order.
