What about diffs mate, I know on 1/10 electric they can be an area for concern on second hand cars. I've never looked at a geared diff on a 1/8 though so don't know if these are such a problem?
With regards to the Xrays, I was reading the thread on MB about the XB9 and there is someone on there called LeeBunker who is running a pre production XB9 at my local track and finished 3rd with it at the weekend at NDOR against some top guys. He lives in Wellingborough, which is less than 10 minutes from my house so I might go and stalk him!!
I could pick up the 808 new from JE for just under £350, but this same LeeBunker also said on MB that the 808 wouldn't have got him anywhere near third at the weekend. Now I don't expect to be getting close to winning anything, but if the XB9 is that much easier to drive..... Well I need all the help I can get!
All that said, I am warming to the idea of second hand a little but wouldn't know which to go for. So the Xb9 is an easier drive than the 808, but how does THEcar and Agama measure up against the 808 as if I go used then they would be my 3 choices!?
