When Do The 2009 Spec 808, XT8 & NT1 Arrive?

I called RC America today to check on a few items. One of my big questions was when are the new 2009 spec versions of the XRAY 808, XT8 and NT1? XRAY announced these new versions of their existing flagship RC cars. RC America think they will receive the 2009 upgrades in late February or maybe early March. This isn't definitive but it makes sense.


These aren't completely new kits. XRAY is making tweaks and minor changes to improve the current RC cars. I'll go ahead and answer the question some of you have. If I already own the NT1, 808 or XT8 should I sell it to get a 2009 version? The answer is no. I recommend you take a look at the new parts and consider if they would be good for you, but do not get rid of what you already have. The improvements are not big enough. If you want proof take a look at the images XRAY has prepared. Both the NT1 and 808 use the same photography with only new graphics. The XT8 was the only one to get new photos.


We do not have the NT1 and XT8 in stock because we want to offer the new 2009 spec versions as soon as they are available. However, we do have one XRAY 808 left in stock. We are going to drop the price on that remaining kit because we know an XRAY fan would rather have the 2009 version over the 2008 version for the same cost. If you want the XRAY 808 for a great price, contact me on Twitter or by email. We will sell the 2008 spec XRAY 808 for $560 and this includes free shipping. You're basically getting the kit at dealer cost. This is a great deal on a sweet buggy.
