Pirate RC Reviews The XRAY 808

Pirate RC posted a short review of the XRAY 808 a few days ago. You can read the full review or browse the highlights below. The spelling and grammar gets to be a little tough to follow in a few spots but you get the idea. It's a far cry better than Xtreme RC Cars' copy/paste reviews of the XRAY XT8 and 808.


"As with every XRAY car I have owned the quality is second to none and with this care its [more] of the same high standard even the fantastic manual is so easy to follow."

"True to form XRAY have a fantastic manual that's extremely easy to follow assembling the front and rear transmission is extremely straight forward."

"Moving forward we see how the engine has been moved forward and more central to give better balance."

"No modern rallycross buggy would be complete without big bore shocks and the 808 is no exception."

"Just watching the 808 around the track it seems to be in a world of its own simply gliding over the bumps and seems to have the grace and poise of a ballet dancer in the air simply gliding. Enough of that it rides the bumps very well and is exceptional in the air and very well balanced. Allowing you the driver to experience performance where it counts on the race tracks."

Con's
  • I feel some of the kit screws could be a mm or 2 longer
  • No switch provided in the kit
  • Bearings don't last long
