XRAY RX8E.2 1/8 Electric Competition 4WD On-Road Car Kit
It is my first Xray kit and the most expensive I've purchased to date. I am getting into on-road and planning a trip to Steel City Raceway soon. The Kit went together well and the instructions were good for an obvious "Add-On" with the Electric Conversion included with the kit. There were three small hang-ups. One is the length of the motor cannot be over 67mm or it contacts the belt adjuster. I just took the end plate off my Reds and will modify it for clearance. The front shock rod ends were tight to screw on an needed reaming. There is no battery strap so you will need to fashion one.
The new Maclan Max8 ESC just barely fits! It is like it was designed for it. The fan does not, I am using a 30mm fan with one screw.
Over all I am happy with it, all the machined parts look great and everything is the best quality.
