Xray XB8E 21 Driving Comparison to Xray XB8E 20 | Which is Better? 

Thank you so much for tuning in and leaving a positive comment! We are really happy with how the 21 car performed over the 20 and it feels like the weight balancing with the new setup has made all the difference to an already amazing car!

Thank you for leaving a positive comment and we really appreciate you tuning in!

Thanks for tuning in and we hope you are enjoying your new build! You are not wrong, Shawn is currently in the process of converting his 20 car from this video into a 21 car and there wasn't to many parts to convert it over. The most expensive part was the chassis

Thanks for the comment! Yes we agree we have been having awesome luck and longevity out of these cars so far

Thanks for leaving a comment! We tested both cars with the stock shock pistons, oil and caps not the zero rebound. We found a much better shock package through the year but thought it would be the most fair comparison. The saddle packs made the car handle much more the like the nitro car and made setup much easier with less testing.

Thank you so much for tuning in and leaving a comment! We really have been liking the new Hobbywing 4268 Sensored G3 motor in either 1900kv (little more torque and tends to need a larger pinion to tame down the torque on a loose track) or 2200kv which will produce higher speed and a little less torque

Thanks for leaving a comment! We had a spacer 3d printed with 2 holes to take up the space that the shorty packs lacked compared to a full size battery and then drilled and counter sunk the holes to use 3x10 counter sunk screws on the bottom of the better tray to secure the spacer

We just 3d printed a block to take up the space in the battery box for the double shorty packs and used a couple screws to attach the block

@@ultrarchobbies Thanks for the info.

@@timothypence1195 you are very welcome

@@ultrarchobbies How many servo mount post are needed?

@@G14tube you should just require one as the 20 uses two 356194 and one 356197 servo posts

This is a great question, from what we have experienced the Xray and Mugen buggies are very comparable for price, durability and performance. The Tekno buggy is very durable and is more budget friendly but out of the box may take some work to get the setup to a point where it is comfortable on your track. As for truggies the Mugen and Tekno by far take this as they are much more durable out of the box and do not need a new aluminum front end conversion for an extra cost of $260.50 USD on RC America like the Xray will need.

@@ultrarchobbies awesome, thank you for your reply.

Thank you for tuning and in and leaving a comment! The new 2021 is such a different buggy in comparison to the 2020, the new saddle pack configuration is much easier to drive especially in the bumpy conditions!

@@ultrarchobbies I’m almost ready to buy the 21 model, do you have them in stock, if so do you ship to Australia , and what’s your website😀

@@Smokeyr67 we are currently sold out of the XB8E and nitro cars and our supplier - RC America is currently also sold out at the moment as well. They are hopefully getting them later this month

@@ultrarchobbies The world is sold out of everything at the moment, but I’ll keep checking ultrarchobbies.com/shop that website, I assume that yours?

@@Smokeyr67 yup that is correct!

Thanks for the comment. The outdoor track after a fresh new layout needs a ton of love lol. A roller packer, 4 leafblowers and about 900 gallons of water haha but after that the surface isn’t to bad at all.
