Team Xray Tips on the XB808 Bearing Maintenance.
The new lighter high-speed ball bearings offer great car performance, acceleration and top speed. Because of their size, the bearings have to be cleaned and serviced more often. To do this, remove all bearing from the car, clean them with cleaner and rag, and regrease them again.
Just got this news Live from partner redrc.net that Jernej Vuga is the new 1/8th Euro 2008 Champion.

Finally we see something real good happening for the Jammin Products at their website. We still call the buggy as HongNor here. Taylor James as we posted before at Pre World Championship posting, did it with their own made up X1X buggy.
Jammin Products rolled into Charlotte, North Carolina with a few tricks bolted onto Taylor James and Chad Bradley’s X1X Jammin Buggies for the IFMAR Pre-Worlds Race. Taylor James proved that the Jammin Buggy is now the top contender for the IFMAR World Championships to be held later this year by posting Top Qualifier and taking the win in the one hour long Final Main. “With a new chassis layout, the X1X Buggy is faster through the corners and accelerates off the corner quicker. Overall stability is much better.” says Jay Halsey. He also revealed that Jammin Products is planning a Conversion Kit for the X1X and also a complete kit, both coming within the next three months.
Go with Jammin Products and up your game to be a World Contender!!
More info and specifications coming soon.
