Default Xray electric Buggy?

I heard rumours of a 4WD buggy a long time ago which never materialized - but now I've heard about a 2WD buggy that XRay are planning. Anyone have any information or thoughts on this? Plenty of room in the 2WD market for a GOOD car I think - and Xray surely have the cash to make a good car.

I think its ace. the intrest in the off road scene has exploded recently. Obviously the worlds helped, but thats all over now, and companies are still wanting to get involved more.

It can only be good.

They will do both a 4WD and a 2WD from what I've heard.

If they do one they will be quality products and quick in the right hands, but will not suit everybody.

I have had a few onroad xrays and some were stunning, the latter ones not so

LOL 8 months, wont it be 6 months, 2008 edition then a 2008.5 edition, then a 2008.5 worlds edition and so on... thats the thing that annoys me about xray.... dont they have confidence in there released cars that they will be competitive for more than a few months?

they call it 'constant evolution' some call it money making.... it's a marmite thing, you either love it or hate it.

depends if the components are back compatable ( the newer bits fit on the older cars ) if so then its a form of constant evolution if not then its moneymaking

I like the new cars then I don't.

The FK'05 and TQ are still great cars I don't see the need to release new ones every few months. The '008 is on the site now!

My Fk05 is still doing the business and i still don't feel the need to change it. The differences between the t2 and the 007 were minimal and the 008 seems more of the same thing. Personally the way I see it with Xray, if you are going to buy one, wait till the T3 comes out as this will be the more ground breaking next phase rather than just a revised version . Plus history dictates it will take at least four years for the T4 to come out.
