No 2009 Spec Conversion Kit for XT8

While the XRAY 808 and NT1 did get 2009 Spec conversion kits, the XRAY XT8 did not. I have already talked about what's in the 2009 Spec conversion kit for the 808 so I thought I would provide a list of parts so you can upgrade your 2008 XT8 to the 2009 version.

• 351121 - XT8 ALU CHASSIS - LONG - HARDCOATED SWISS 7075 T6 (3MM)
• 351308 - XT8 BODY POSTS - V2

If you want to buy all of these new parts to upgrade your XT8 it would cost about $644.00 USD. RC XRAY sells the XRAY 1/8th scale off-road nitro RC truggy for $635.00 so I don't recommend upgrading your 2008 XT8 with all of these parts. You should just buy the ones that will provide the best improvements and this won't be the same parts for everyone. Your driving style will play a role in which parts are for you. If you think you need most of these parts, then I recommend you just buy the new 2009 Spec XRAY XT8 and use your 2008 truggy for parts.

What's In 2009 Spec Conversion Kit for 808?

The 2009 Spec XRAY 808 is one of our top selling kits right now and we are probably getting more XRAY parts requests for its new 2009 Spec parts than any other RC car. A lot of XRAY fans who own the 2008 version of the 808 are asking about parts to upgrade their 1/8th off-road nitro buggy with the 2009 improvements.


One of the most frequently asked questions is "What parts are included in the 2009 Spec 808 Conversion Set?" So we called RC America to confirm and here is what you will get if you order the conversion set.

The part number for the 2009 Spec 808 Conversion Set is 350901 it costs about $118.00 USD. That's a lot cheaper than buying all of these parts individually. You can get the new 2009 Spec conversion kit from your local XRAY dealer or from RC XRAY. Just remember this is a very popular item so don't be surprised if you hear it's backordered.
