How is spare parts avaiability for this car and how much longer do you things spare parts will be available for it.
There has been nothing earth shattering from XRay since the 009 that has made any real difference. It (009) is still a very competitive car especially with the Exotek chassis upgrade. Everything outwards of the bulkheads is the the same as the T3.
The only real difference is the drive ratio which is 1.7 vs. 1.9 on the T3. Thats because the 009 uses 34T diff pullies instead of 38T pullies. For me, I don't see the difference. If you want to jump into the gear diff bandwagon you'll have to convert to 38T for your front spool as all the gear diffs for the XRay are only 38T.
