Xray 10th buggy musings

[jimmy]

What are people's thoughts / observations / rumours about the layout of this new Xray 4WD buggy? I emailed to see if I could tease out any clues but they weren't giving anything away.

I'd be surprised if the car wasn't using some geared differentials as they're proving their worth on a lot of tracks. I'd like to see someone try a centre differential / make one as an option - if Xray don't then I'm sure JQ will.

Given the non-existant 10th off road heritage and background of Xray - and coming up against so many established competitors with big teams. How many people are planning to get their hands on this buggy?

If they did a 2wd i would probably be tempted,i love the Xray stuff,but i just dont think it looks that nice,they usually look all bling,not RTR black,plus they somtimes go a bit ott with setup options,i just have a feeling its going to be what Team Magic did when the tryed to build a rallyX car,I would love Mugen to give this ago though

It might be lovely inside - and a lot of things like anodising might not be finalised yet I'd guess. I just hope they don't put a brick over a vacformer for the bodyshell like they did their 8th buggy

Yeah i hope they do a good job like durango did with regards to the body
They do make some nice finishing touches,like the silver edge`s on the ali,

How cool would it be if they has diffs the same as the RVM cluches...turn a screw to set them,no balls,no oil,simplessssssssss

It looks a lot like the kyosho, I suspect the inside to look like a B44

it wont be any faster or slower than the top dogs, there are no bad cars on the market today.... but it ll ooze quality by every pore, because that s xray s point of difference and their motto

Do you think that the car needs a bumber or not?
That front alu brace looks kind of solid.

I'm counting the laps that I've to run my Lazer still...
