Stendori,

Just wondering, why did you get rid of your 2006 800 for a 2008 that only has ACD upgraded to it and alittle more power. You mention the rear work lights are gone, when you look at a pic you see the 2 break lights.
I have a 07 Stealth, which seems closer to the 08 then the 06. I've raced the 2006's and on take off I take them seems to have more power down low. Just missing the ACD

stendori,

Looking at your rear pic, they still have the backup lights, could it be there automatic when you put it in reverse, as in your pic of your new one they are clearly there. Maybe Ididn't read something right.
I had to look twice, looks exaclty like the 07 deluxe except for the graphics and exhust being black.

Anyone get that red yet, I would of gotten that as just like my stealth there isn't many.

i was tired of replacing the same cv joint and i wanted the ho which has 5 more hp and a little more torque. the adc is nice, but not the reason i changed. as far the work lights, the lenses and wiring is all there, but the bulbs are not there and neither was the switch that i have since aded them both and a reverse override in there as well.

Hey Stendori,

Thanks for the comments, BTW you mention drive line backlash, want to hear something funny, my 07 had none until they replaced the belt because one of the motor mounts moved and they said wore the belt a bit. Anyhow stupid thing is since they have changed it, I have that dam backlash, how does that make sense, when putting it in revers and if I let off and goose it.

Are the CV'S and Axles the same as the 06 and 07 models? I have heard they are different. I haven't seen an 08 yet?
