XRAY XB808 2010 Spec Luxury 1/8 Nitro Off-Road Buggy Kit
Xray 808 sets the gold standard in buggy platforms. It is light, lean and efficient. It gives up quality nowhere. Very nice product. On the track it can be tuned to almost be boring because it is soo easy to drive. If you are in the market for a serious race buggy, this is the most serious. Maintenance is a breeze if you keep it on a regular program.

Let me be very clear here... I run 1000 + laps a week on my car. It gets driven hard!

On the down side... there always is a down side... keep an eye on the drive shafts and maintain them regularly. I recommend greasing one end of the car after each race day. Front one day, center one day then do the rear the last day. Repeat. You should do this to every race car.
The rear outer bearings need to be checked regularly. 8 x 14 bearings stink! I wish Xray would remake the plastic uprights in the rear to take 8 x 16 bearings for durability purposes.

The best car on the market!
Enough said,
TEX

PS: I need six stars here. 5 is not enough.

The car is built solid. The build books are the best I have seen; which makes it easy to build the car correctly. The books go so far as to show what some parts will look like if you put it together wrong. The parts fit perfectly, just like the book says. The kit includes silicone fluids and graphite gear grease. Nothing has beaten it in durability at our local track this year.

If you race at a rough and tumble track, this car is ideal. In fact, I am so impressed I am going to sell my new electric 8T 2.0 and replace it with a Nitro XT8 for the 2011 season.

XRAY XB808 2010 Spec Luxury 1/8 Nitro Off-Road Buggy Kit
I honestly loved this buggy the first time I saw it 3 years ago when it was being tested at out track in Houston, the 08 model. I'm not saying it's the best buggy, I'm saying this car works awesome, and is easy to work on, and it's super reliable. I haven't had one DNF due to any of the cars parts. I lost a steering servo once during practice, and cracked the front top plate during a heat race, still finished the day with super glue, and I cracked the bulkhead once right where the top plate bolts too, I hit the side of the steel starting gate coming off a jump during practice,,,,....that's it in three years of heavy racing. Finished ever qualifier, every main to date in three years.....I've never owned a more reliable buggy in any scale or brand.....Period.

It costs a bit more and will save you so much time and money down the road. It's worth it.....

XRAY XB808 2010 Spec Luxury 1/8 Nitro Off-Road Buggy Kit
This is the buggy to have. I have driven them all and seriously this is the only car I feel at home driving. Fully adjustable for every situation. More adjustability than any car on the market and no gimmics. Tough as nails too. Havent broken a thing yet and Ive been racing the snot out of this thing for months.

Like I said Ive driven them all, d8, losi, ae and ofnas. I havent driven mugens but it doesnt matter, after driving all these cars the 808 is the top dog. You will immediately feel at home driving it. Its as if its already familiar to the driver. Its very fast out of the hole due the direct power it transmits via the pinion in the diffs. They are built like no other car on the market. Brakes even with the metal disks are great and if you decide to add the 41t overdrive gear in the front diff you will turn faster, tighter and harder than anyone on the track.

If you want a car that is tough, handles well and is the best in quality this is the one. You get what you pay for. Spare parts are rarely needed unless you drive like a total moron, which is what it takes to break one of these kits. Forget that wannabe serpent buggy. The 808 will chew up and spit out any car on the track...guaranteed.

My first real Kit, easy to put togther and the quality is good but a shame about the shock seals.
I have been driving it for six months now and have found it to be quite solid, it has made my racing experiance far more enjoyable. I recomend it to any one starting out you will spend more time on the track than on the bench....

You cannot argue with XRay's quality of parts from fit and finish to the way that the kit performs. This is my second XRay kit, my first being the XT8. As long as I stay in the nitro world, I will only run XRay. From driving like a madman and thrashing on it, it just sits there and begs to go harder and faster.

XRAY XB808 2010 Spec Luxury 1/8 Nitro Off-Road Buggy Kit
This is my 5th Xray kit. I decided to go to a different brand last year, and after a season of DNFs decided to go back to Xray. This buggy is second to none in quality. It just feels like quality with each part assembled. The 808 has always handled well, the new radio layout and longer chassis is destined to be great. Be one of the few racers at the track to understand what it is like to driver a quality product and stop worrying if the buggy will make it to the end of the race.

who buys a $629 kit with out tires tune pipe, I use to buy GS, wich was the same quality. I had the GS XUT pro team advance, it had all the upgrades as this one . Had the car for 2 years and never broke anything and for half the cost. GS rocked, except Amain no longer carries GS. Now I have to choose a new brand for more $$. -//- Whats up with the price, no tires no tune pipe. If we boycott this prices they would drop. this kits should be priced from 250 to 450 max for top notch.
