XB8 2016

By -
Martin Bayer report xb8 development.
Xray develop too many cars on short term by few members.

I feel they can't get plenty resources to xb8.
Xb8 become expensive mbx7 not 7r.
But it's maximum improve for these years.

Expensive mean Xray parts is precious and high price compared Mugen.

AE takes two years for developing RC8B3.
It's for beating Japanese car.
Buggy mechanism is so complex and track condition are so many.
Truly improve need to take long time and a lot resources.
Martin develop this version mainly.
Almost changing point are chassis brace and short wheelbase.

They can't get trend nowadays.
Metal bearing guid bulkhead.
Easy maintenanced bulk.
Unicast wing mount.
Short shock and flexible suspension arm.

Xb8 2015 chassis brace is so bad shape.
It's so weak.
I don't understand why brace shape curved.
Then rear suspension can't work well.
It becomes straight bar type then 2016 can work well.

Long upper arm make rear traction.
But xb8 was designed short under arm for that.
AW design long under arm and hub carrier.

I don't want to buy.
No advantages with DNX8.

Reliability of FUTAB

 It is a valid concern, as that reputation did persist in the RC community for a time. Here is an explanation of the current situation and why that "rumor" no longer reflects the reality of their high-end gear. Is Futaba Prone to Failure? (The Current Reality) The short answer is: No, the current high-end Futaba gear is exceptionally reliable. In fact, it is considered the global benchmark for durability in the grueling 1/8 GP Buggy category. 1. Where did the rumors come from? Historically, there were a few reasons for this reputation: Heat Issues in the Coreless Era: Older high-speed coreless servos pushed performance to the limit. In 1/8 GP Buggies—where vibration is high and races are long—these servos sometimes overheated and suffered board failure. Complexity of Early Tech: Futaba was a pioneer in S.BUS and telemetry. Early adopters sometimes faced "troubles" that were actually caused by incorrect settings or power supply issues, which were then blamed on th...

I warry about Durango parts providing. AMain can provide parts after soon I put parts on cart or wish list. Probably they don't want to make dead stock. Then they watch customers need. I want bulk head. But it will stock on end of June. But I found another brand Arrma. Is the bulkhead same spec as DNX8? Is Arrma one of Hobbico brand? The picture is Durango. It is 2 dollars expensive.

Break In Part3

By -

This picture is same type OS engine piston. But each engines take different way of break in. Already you can understand. Left side is running in,right side is stand in.  Each engine left side is exhaust side. Thermal expansion lean left side continued long time. Then piston top scrape right side only.  And piston side doesn't scrape uniformity. Stand in disuse piston. Not break in,only do break. It takes a balance by chance for short term. So I said heat cycle is very important. Heat cycling protect piston to lean thermal. Perfect break in is like this. Piston top scraping belt width is uniformity on zoom up shot! AND piston side luster is uniformity.
