Xray

[Woody]

I'm thinking of buying an XRAY for summer racing. Can anybody tell me what they are like to drive, set up, problems, etc.....

[tc rcr]

the track that i race at we have about three racers with x-rays.one of the drivers qualifies weekly for the a-main and usually is a top three driver.with only a couple of x-rays parts become an issue,the hobbyshop does not stock parts for them.with some of the other cars parts are stocked and other racers share parts.but of course this is were i race and the hobbyshop that is near by.check with the other racers and see what the hobbyshop has for parts.

[Woody]

Yeah, that's alot of the reason why I'm asking. I like the way the car looks, and what I've read about it. However, if I decide to get one, it looks like I'll be mail ordering alot of parts, just like my micro!

Wow, I was also looking into getting one as well. See if your lhs
has any left over december 2001 rc car action mags left. They have 11 1/10 electric touring cars shootout. I believe the Xray T-1,lOSI XXS and the Yokomo were picked by the three editors.

[Woody]

Cool, I'll check it out. Thanks

[pisnonvtec]

Woody,
After alot of research, I decided to take the plunge and order
me an xray. I will let you know how it runs as soon as I get
and assemble it..

[Woody]

I'd appreciate it! Just got the 'ol income tax check, it's burning a hole in my pocket. I actually read that the replcement parts and hop-ups are rather pricey.......

[pisnonvtec]

Woody,
well hopefully there won't be any replacing of parts.. I hope!!..
Xray only uses the highest quality materials and was rated best
craftmanship of all 11 touring cars tested. But with my driving style you never know!! I will keep you posted..

I just bought one. And about $400 of batteries too.....:(

[pisnonvtec]

Congrats!!! be sure to check out this thread on RC/TECH http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=34 and the Xray forum on www.mytsn.com Btw what batteries did you decide
to go with?

I can't wait to get mine in the mail..

[TGRupert]

how much does it cost? if you're going with that many batterys isn't a lot cheeper to get a nitro?

[pisnonvtec]

I am actually looking into these batts for the car. Reedy Zappers 3000HV $69.99 I would probably get two sets. The Xray ranges from 300-350.00

[Woody]

I ordered some trinity batts and some orion batts. ANd by the way, I do have a nitro car, 3 of them.

[TGRupert]

if you have all that stuff i bet I know somthing you don't have, a wife. My girlfriend is like "You already spent 200 dollars and now you're getting this other ESP thing" I smacked her and told her i wouldn't need to make my car lighter if she wasn't so fat. Then she ran 5 miles and made me dinner.

[Woody]

yeah but she's only my wife when I'm not racing. And I race alot, in our basement, at the track, etc... When we go to her mom's I take my 24th scale and race it in the driveway. She once told me that maybe I should have sex with my cars rather than her:p

[TGRupert]

or maybe you could mount forgein objects on them and your cars could have sex with her. You could control it so it wouldn't be cheating.

I have had an xray for about 8 months. It is a very adjustable easy to drive car. It is fairly durable but parts are a little on the pricey side. I have had great luck with mine and if you can afford it, i would highly reccomend it.

[Woody]

ALready got one, thanks.
