Default RE: My first XR8 Kit

The car is a blast for sure. I am not sales person for PRP or anything. I am straight honest, it a descent kit to play with. The sound of the humble OS .21 is exhilarating. I dont know why, but the sound is not the same as in a buggy or a truck.

Usually most nitro powered engines have the growling rattling sound, but with the XR8 the pitch tone is sweet. Maybe it is of the power to weight ratio, or how belts resistance react compared to shaft driven setups.


At low rpms it has the normal pocket bike can sound, but once I go open throttle the parking lot is mine and it does make the F1 sound.
