No, too aggressive. I was hoping someone had one. No biggie, see if there are any in the shop. Maybe Will could look into ordering one. I think Hudy makes a set of them, can only imagine what that would run me..

Had a good time, I'm glad I didn't have to bull ram anyone last night. Also, thanks to Jeff Roy and John Brushitis for the use of some tires for my 4wd.

Would anyone be interested in getting the new 1/8 scale X Ray Kit? The rep said that they can turn the new XB8 into an electric conversion with a few modifications that they use from the XB9E such as the mounts and battery box ect. If anyone would like to get one let me know.

Had fun last night too! Bull Ram?! HAHA

definitely had fun racing. Jay, good battle with you in 2wd buggy. b5 rear motor vs mid baby!!

Blake, nice run. I will say, you're definitely fast. When I got within 2 seconds of you, I choked, crashed (my only crash I think) and then you proceeded to rattle off a bunch of consecutive 14 second laps. I think that was the first time I raced you in 2wd buggy since you've become fast.

4wd buggy was entertaining as usual, especially with the props used for smack talk. lol.

I'm going to get an 1/8 I just can't pull the trigger on it this season. If/when I do I'll get the Xray, hopefully by next year they'll have an XB8e out so we won't need to convert an XB8. I've heard they aren't going to do that though but with how popular e-buggy is getting I can't see Xray passing up on selling another kit.

Just curious, why not get the xb9e?

Also, you guys would know better than me on this issue. but, is e-buggy that popular now? It's just a class that you can only race on the weekends at a big 1/8 track on a day that you have to alternate races with nitro, which get most of the track time. I guess if you ran e-buggy, e-truggy, and 4wd sct (assuming you didn't run nitro), you could spend your time more efficiently. But, I will say e-buggy does look like fun.

Apparently the XB8e conversion is a better performing buggy than the XB9e.

I want to run 1/8 I just don't want to deal with nitro, call it lazy if you want.

Um...50% chance of rain? I'll be there in either case.

17.5 buggy, 4wd buggy, mod SC. Maybe 4wd SC if I can get the drivetrain to run smoothly.
