Thanks, man!
But the "expensive as hell" adjective only applies due to import costs for us Brazilians (delivery costs + 60% taxes - minimum).
I think in the US it wouldn't be scary expensive, since both of them started as rollers (USD270 each on ebay), and the combos are on the cheaper side of the market.
The drift tires (they are from the Exceed MadDrift 1/8) I bought from nitroRCX:

They are the only 1/8 scale drift tires I could find, and even though they are not 1/7 scale, they are 105mm in diameter, pretty close to XO-1 original rubber tires at 110mm.
The bodies were also tricky to find; I got them from an ebay seller from Taiwan back in October, but he no longer carries KillerBody line.
It intrigues me a bit, this manufacturer. KillerBody stuff is stunning, but very hard to get.
The website is nice (
