Here is the first videoof the XLB. This is elite's XLB running at our local track. He is running 40 series Bowties. Now no saying the driving is bad, this is the first time at DB's and the first time elite has owned a big block vehicle. After all the taping and I drove it, elite was laying down some killer laps STOCK! I left the video time and date stamp to allow for timing of laps this time.
Please right click on the link and select "Save Target As..." so to save me some bandwidth!

| Hey, thanks for posting these videos. Unfortunately I was grinding my teeth while listening to that background music. I have a camera with a video option, I'll try to post some videos too. |

| looks like if you really wanted to get on it, that engine would push that buggy like a bullet. |

And that is WITHOUT full throttle. There is an issue with the XLB not being able to open full throttle...elite needs to fix that  |

I removed my air filter elbow from the carb today. I gave it full throttle and I noticed it was only opening about 50%. I moved the linkage one hole away from the center of the horn. This fixed my problem, carb fully opens now.
I really pushed the xlb today. It definitely blows my ofna lx comp away. This thing is an awesome basher. It's also much easier to tune than my the other r/c cars I had.
Anyone who doesn't have a temp gun already, I recommend getting one. |

Nice video of the XLB BT. Did your friend boil his wing for two hours? shatter like glass, that sucks.  |

No boiling at all..
The major problem is he first broke a wing mount and left the wing on, then the quad attempt caused the wing to fold more than it would have, say had they wing mount been there. Even he said as we found the wing snapped "shoulda taken it off". Live and learn but I'll tell him to boil the next one for certain! |

| looks like a fun buggy to own, the high center on the lip of the jump is something I would probably do. |

| Running on tighter smaller tracks makes you a better driver. |
