Jarred, no nothing on the 808E yet, there are a couple of conversions but personally not sure what brand they are.

Cheers Ari, I am looking forward to trying these things on Sunday.

With the new shock pistons, I notice they are a little domed on one side. When installing these is it still the writing on piston facing up

I tried the Alloy rear brace for the first time and loved it, makes the car much more predictable through the turns.

I wasnt running the car super short, only 1mm shorter than std.

ARI is this for the truggy or buggy????

at the NSW titles in the truggy i used the ali front brace and the std rear, found it more responsive to input, turning and braking, shocks 600 front 350 rear std, ride height 2mm lower than std, droop - arms just below level, worked well for me

Yes all the latest kits in stock have the 3 bearing pinions in them std. The rear toe plate use the 2-4 rather than the 1-2, the 2-4 is higher and i never run anything lower than 2 squat anyway. No grinding or modifications needed ; )

Tried the new pistons out on Sunday, 1.2x8 front and 1.1x10 rear. Through the rough sections i found the car was more stable and still took the jumps just as well.

What did you think juzza?

Not sure yet bud,,,As i realised when i got home that the tyres i was using had the black inserts (proline hardest) in them..I was wondering why my car was bouncing all over the place and was extremely hard to drive on the 3 corners after the long straight..doh

On the smooth parts and the jumps the car felt good with the shock setup and i didnt have much trouble getting over the jumps, even allowing for the taller gearing i was running, double doh..

Ari's truggy setup, well his truggy hooked up well at the Truggy Nats last weekend. Im not sure if it was just because it was a truggy but it was real easy to drive.

Here it is ...

Track Liverpool
Race: 2010 NSW State Titles
Link: http://forum.teamxray.com/xform/inde...=417&setup=xt8

Yep the truggy is good carl, but it still required someone to pilot it and you drove it awesome considering you hadnt driven a truggy before the race. Well done dude.

Hey Guys,

Just a few quick updates. If you havent got yourself one of the Hudy 3mm Drive Pin Removing Tools, there great and super easy to use. Id recommend one for sure.

Im also now using rear alloy chassis brace. Im also using the new Novarossi Toro Nero Team version in my 808. Look forward to using this baby with the other Xray boys in ACT and ill offer some feedback.

Have only run 2 litres through it and "This is the fastest engine ive ran" to date.
TORO NERO TEAM = WEAPON
