Default Xray electric Buggy?

I heard rumours of a 4WD buggy a long time ago which never materialized - but now I've heard about a 2WD buggy that XRay are planning. Anyone have any information or thoughts on this? Plenty of room in the 2WD market for a GOOD car I think - and Xray surely have the cash to make a good car.

I think its ace. the intrest in the off road scene has exploded recently. Obviously the worlds helped, but thats all over now, and companies are still wanting to get involved more.

It can only be good.

They will do both a 4WD and a 2WD from what I've heard.

If it's going ahead I'd not expect to see anything for a while - maybe Nurnberg in February? I trust my source

what is the time frame to release?

I personally like the quality of x- ray, but patience isn't one of my virtues
Any idea if it will be belt or shaft?

The only problem with Xray's is when they go wrong is expensive! eg, a wishbone for my T2 is 7/8quid for ONE!

I don't know how much a wishbone costs on my fk05, I have had it three years and haevn't broken one. 7 quid for one seems a bit extreme though.

Default price

I dont know where you getting your spares from but there not £7/8 for a wishbone .. more like £3.99 for one and if you think about it AE/schumacher/losi are 7.99ish for two ..
i know this as i sell the stuff ortho i will say the hudy drive shafts are alot at 22.50 for a pair

i would be checking the price you pay for stuff as you could be beeing ripped off
