Hi, So I have converted my XB8 to ebuggy so basically i am going to be new to racing ebuggy. I have installed a Hobbywing 8BL150 esc with a 1900kv Hobbywing motor. I have a program card.....should i start with the 'box' settings ?or do you have any set ups that i can try ? I am an intermediate standard Rc racer sort of middle of the pack !

Been Thinking guys and girls.....do we all get a little bit lost when thinking about our set up on our Rc Models for racing ? I race both X Ray XB2 carpet and XB8e Astro Turf...been at it a few years now but never really settled with it..mainly due to looking for the perfect set up. but really should i be thinking of trying to improve my driving rather than changing this and that constantly....apart from obvious stuff like tyres and shock/diff oils in warm and cold weather...should i revert both models back to the Factory box settings as listed in the build manuals. well I have done just that folks, I am under the impression that X Ray manuals the builds are more designed for US dirt tracks ..am i correct? If so why dont they list various builds for the different track surfaces the sport uses. So if my cars are now set up as per the instruction (XB8e) am i assuming i have a Dirt spec build . Hope the Forum can shed some light on this .... So in a 'nutshell' set buggies up to the manual and improve driving..dont over complicate it.

Ok everyone new to ebuggy outdoor 8th buggy racing…the events I will be racing in are 15min finals at there longest ….i have set up for 2x2’s Lipos …what capacity can I get away with then…as the cost goes up quite a lot the bigger the capacity 😬

Yo Probally been asked a thousand times.....Is it possible to convert the XRay XB8 2023 edition Nitro to ebuggy ? Has anybody done this ? Can it be that difficult ? Hope to hear back from you guys and girls

Hey Up Everyone, I have a XRay XB8 22" and recently i have been thinking the unthinkable should i convert to E Buggy ....I have been racing my 1/10th indoor Buggy and its so much easier to race and maintain....this is whats throwing the question up,,,,...so i have had a search about and you can buy the converstion kits,,,but do i need a different chassis plate. some say not some say yes. Is their a complete kit that i can look into to do the conversion over the winter ... has anyone had any experience of the conversion ? Hope so .....Thanks for reading Bennett Ironman
