XB8, Novvarossi 421b, where to buy?

1st I would like to say thank you to all the fine people here who said they thought that the deal I was looking at was a scam. I believe it was either a scam or the guy was clueless, nonetheless, I will not be buying it as he attempted to change the price and terms of payment after the fact. I have informed Ebay Security and they are looking into it. I NEVER break my word unless someone changes things without my consent.

Now to the heart of the matter:
I'm inquiring of some good sources to purchase an XB8, two good servos, a good quality motor like the one mentioned and a good starter box.
Any help you can give would be greatly appriciated. In addition, any advice as to what's the best all around motor (421B,WS7II, P-5,etc,etc.) would be great too.
Thanks again RCNitro community!

www.ashfordhobby.com give robert a call, he is the largest Xray dealer in the US right now, and he sells just about everything else your looking for. ask him if he can put a package together for you. tell him chris from lancaster told you to call.

Ultimate Hobbies

$720 with free shipping for the kit.

You should check ****** first and see if he can get you one. Not sure if he carries Xray stuff.

As far as the engine goes i hear that the ws7II is a killer engine. Great power and decent longevity.

Miami,
Yup that would be me! Guy Flaked out Majorly, see my summary on the "just bought a XB8"thread.
I was told that the 421B is a VERY powerfull motor, but requires a lot of tuning and isn't recommended unless you're a really good tuner. What has been your experiance with it?

421b is a great motor tonnes of power low and high, in fact border line on to much low end power, but i had reliability issues with it same as a lot of people, damn thing would run perfect for 4 minutes then just stop for no reason, put it back on the starter and it would fire imediatley was like it sudenly didnt get fuel for a sec, other than that i couldnt fault it awesome motor
