Xray XB4 original #3

Given it is a car released in 2012, it has to match with older electronics (and real reason is I have spare) - a Tekin 10.5 brushless motor and a LRP Sphere TC Spec ESC, some old saddle packs too - hey, the saddle packs are old, possible 10 years or more but they are not having any problem or sign of blow up, amazing !

Fit on the body and wing without painting first and test two packs today. 

Test run was done on an open carpark, ESC does not support turbo / boost and the 10.5T works not bad at 1:8.1 final gear ratio. The Proline bald tires works well too. 
One thing I am glad about Xray is that when they design the chassis and body shell, they have given a thought on how the ESC / motor and batteries wires are going, there is so much clearance within the chassis and between the chassis and body shell to allow the thick wires to go through without touching and being a barrier. A number of other on-road / off-road kits I built did require a better solution for wiring especially for brushless system.
