Yeah of course it has Neil, remember I too was once a sheep... Bah (sheep noise). But you guys seriously need to see the light... It's all shiny and blue, comes from Japan, but isn't a Tamiya ;-)

To be fair the Xray is a awesome club car, its unbelievable it hasn't won a World championship by now.
I don't think you can go far wrong buying a xray, especially if your just club racing, more people run them, so theres plenty of setup advice, spares if you dont have one, it handles well and there made of quality materials. Can't knock it really.
One thing tho it did look better in Silver!! not too keen on the gold???

its orange isnt it? or is that my colour blind'ness lol
Cut me in half and it'd say xray lol. If i could get spares for yoke i'd probably be tempted but i brush too many barriers and i'd only get pissed with it! I'm not tempted by a new one. Ive about got the set up on mine and i'd have to be beaten convincingly by a t3-12 to get one.

The lack of spares would put me off from trying it, looks a good car, but Chris's BD5 doesnt like its C hubs that much. I pinned the fence at the end of ardent at warp 9 the other week and the damage I did was that I ripped the motor out, and the Tekin out of its casing. Oh and a hinge pin, which could have already been bent?

chris's doesnt like full speed into mendip armco..and neither did your schumacher thinking about it dan lol.
Both my xrays went round that corner fine 8)

All mine required was a ball of flames as it slid into the armco in reverse. To make it look realistic at least. Down to driver error though, chris was less fortunate. I actually had to wince at it.
Will the cheese grater live on though?

My spare chassis isn't a cheese grater one, so dunno what to do. Might splash out in the new year for a fresh grater. Good job I bought 2 top decks though eh.
For anyone that doesn't know, my outdoor car ended up going at mach 10 into a dead stop at the end of the straight at Mendip, cue a car that's is pretty much split in two.

was a good effort, not much of a crash though. Just a dead stop lol.

Dont think it warrants a change just yet....i bought the Xray to get rid of the Shitmacher for indoors.

Mine works well and i know it well. Spunking 400 bar on something thats the same doesnt make much sense right now. Maybe next year..but conversion kit might be available then!

Its BS, you don't need a new car every year to be competitive, Yoke has had 3 cars to Xrays 7. They bring out a new car so you'll buy it, not cos its needed.

Just take claxton for example, he was giving everyone a run with brushed gear.

I think both me and Clax-ton have won since we started back using 19t brushed. Time is in the corners......
