Update on the Fioroni Turbo Sliding Clutch:
Well, had a bash around with the HPI Savage today. The engine is tuned and the power is awesome. The Fioroni clutch exhibits awesome bite now and the truck pulls power wheelies with very little provocation. There is no clutch fade and the power-band is so aggressive and broad with the STS D30M, that extreme care has to be taken at all times not to put the truck on it’s lid.

There have been a mistake in the spring packaged with the shipping of the Xray XB8EC buggy.
The Light-Blue shocks springs (#358095) which are included in the kit are NOT the light-blue springs. By a mistake in the color coating process the Dark-Blue springs (#358096) were coated with Light-Blue color. Therefore the springs which are in the kit, despite they have Light-Blue color, in the reality the characteristics and the springs are Dark-Blue.
We suggest to use for the basic set-up either the White springs or the correct Light-Blue springs from the XB8 or XB8TQ kit.
