@CardNox

MANY THANKS MAN

[swigtrick]

yes i know. thats why i was looking at the sc8e

[swigtrick]

yeah but i want electric.... i think im just gonna buy a 1/8 scale when im making more oney cuz you cant really run anything under a 3s

[CardNox]

@swigtrick, The SC8 is available in electric as well. If you are going to run 1/8 you need atleast 4S to run it properly.

[swigtrick]

@Trikenut012, i would get a slash 4x4 but they dont hanlde to well. i think im gonna get the 4x4 sc10 when it comes out

[CardNox]

@swigtrick, if prefer the look of shortcourse you could try the SC8 from AE ;)

[Trikenut012]

@swigtrick  the sc10 is wayyy lighter for one.

[Lordsofbuggys]

wooow very very many jumps..nice ;)

[CardNox]

@Lordsofbuggys, thanks. Also check out my other vids jumping on this track. I love your vids to ;)

[swigtrick]

aight..so what type of 1/1o scale car would you recommend.. i want something i can race at the track and be a good track car and also just one to drive anywhere..i was thinking bout the losi xxx-t or the firestorm flux...i want the car brushless too.the firestorm looks like the front end is a little light cuz that thing always wheelies..

[CardNox]

@swigtrick, both not. You have two main option:

1. Ofna Hyper Mini STe. Extremely fast and fun car (have on myself) will race out both the before cars since it's just a 1/8 truggy scaled down.

2. Losi 10T. This is a nitro, but you can sell all the nitro stuff and buy the RCM kit to convert it to electro. had no experience myself, but everyone on RCM is crazy about this car and they love it.

Both car are small truggy are will perform extremely well on the tracks.

[Trikenut012]

@swigtrick Buy a Slash 4x4 brushless alot more bang for your buck

[CardNox]

@Trikenut012, why's that? They aren't that strong and have several weakpoints like the diff bearings and axles. If you want to go fast a truggy will blow away a Slash 4x4 any time of the day.

[Trikenut012]

@CardNox What the hell? have you ever used a Slash, I've been running a Slash since it came out it toughest out there hands down, plus parts are wayy cheaper, no your right a 8th scale truggy would blow the doors of a Slash, their a completly different class, but a 10th scale truggy is no comparison.

[CardNox]

@Trikenut012, yes I have and I wasn't impressed by it's handling nor it's toughness. I've seen people going berserk on their Slash and nothing happened. Other just have to look at it the wrong way and it falls apart.

Besides I'm not the biggest fan on plastic chassis like Traxxas does on ... well everything.

[swigtrick]

i see..... how good are the diffs? are they bullet proof?

[CardNox]

@swigtrick, nothing is bulletproof. But haven't read much problems with them. Had zero issues myself.

[swigtrick]

yeah i thought so, the stability is so much better on this...so this only comes in a kit right?

[CardNox]

@swigtrick, yes the RC8Te comes only as a kit, it's part number : 80911. But building the car is great and you will learn a lot when building which makes you understand the car and the mechanisms better. You can also buy a roller of eBay for example.

[swigtrick]

this or the e revo platinum?

[CardNox]

@swigtrick , I would choose this one. In racing the RC8Te will check a Revo's ass any day (center diff, sway bars, cog). And for bashing this is still one heck of a durable machine. It can take a beating like my Savage Flux so far.

[0DJXS0]

Woow, hoe perfect kan je springen:P

Mooi, Zeer mooi:D

[CardNox]

Check ook mijn nieuwe filmpje waar ik deze wagen spring ;)

[1carrotcake]

just love the RC8T"e" - with the Mamba Monster nothing can compare to it. 5 Stars

[CardNox]

Yup, it's got all the power it needs on just 4S with stock gearing. Thanks!

[rcrules100]

smooth driving!

[CardNox]

Thanks :). It's easy to drive this car smooth.

[offroadrc]

nothing better then the rc8's

[CardNox]

I'm loving mine so far :)

[95666]

wow that thing jumps smooth.

[CardNox]

It sure does. I only drove around for like 40 minutes or something. The car almost flies by itself, way easier than jumping my Savage Flux :)

[vxlman]

nice place and nice jumps!

[CardNox]

Thanks, also have some movies of my Flux on there. Different animal but still tons of fun.
