[brenoribeiro2007]

Do yall know any good online stores to buy rc trucks other than nitrorcx? tnx in advance.

[forrest225]

@brenoribeiro2007 I like amainhobbies and towerhobbies. Horizonhobbies are also good.

[CorruptH3ro]

Don't forget the really trick looking roll cage.

[1700tc]

how long does a tank of gas last

[matttherat12069]

[James132465]

Hey I've pretty much just started my rc hobby, I bought a hsp warhead and it was really good I learnt allot from it im planing to move on and buy my next car and I want it to be a trophy truck like this on in the vid but I dont know which one I should buy any suggestions?

[ch0l0sk8r]

trick looking starter lol

[blackeye09]

remote glow plug, interesting

[RCBuggy100]

Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap body for a SC10, I want a SC10 Clear body or JConcepts Truth or Illuzion or Pro Line Ford F-150 Body

[Trempii]

@RCBuggy100 get the JCONCEPTS RAPTOR body its awesome!

[TeaBagger5000]

such a great truck when they first came out, they sure faded out fast. The best 1/8 scale sc nitro out there, you get what you pay for.

[frankcoffee]

For what this thing costs I would expect at least aluminum rims.

[pieisafruit]

where can i get a awesome lookin bady for my truck???????? i want a rockstar or redbull sooo bad

[TNSRacing]

How do you think this would fair to trugs? My home track has an open rally class, trugs and rallies, no engine size limit. I want an SC8 but if it's no competition, then why waste the money.

[xXpsychopathicXx420]

im already sold on it. now, which body? lucas oil or redbull?

[jaybeebee12]

this really trick lookin starter!

Plastic is better than metal. Metal is way too brittle. Cracks like nothing.

[Duckyistrippin]

metal is {can be} stronger...but plastic is more durable :) Everything has a point of yield, the question is just happens when you cross it. Plastic deforms, stretches then tears more than breaks usually. Metal snaps like twig! Especially aluminum, Steel is better in this respect but too heavy to have any real benefit. Ti is the real answer, but plastic is actually affordable.

So there you go, the science behind your rightness, in case anyone gives you shit :)

[theantinignog]

@ryansiki Right, thats why real sc trucks use 4130 plastic to keep them safe, youve nailed it on the head. and ducky really carbon is a much better solution then ti, ti is really expensive.

[HachiZenki]

Man...plastic rims and roll cage. I dunno how long that'll last.

[burns10001]

dos the SC8 come with gas if so how much?

[Maxxah]

No it doesn't come with fuel, you have to buy it yourself.

[paintballpumper]

@burns10001 sorry man but why would nay gas pwered car come with gas?

[theninja001]

Yeah, the fuel is in the cardboard box ..............dummy

[burns10001]

how fast dos it go? MAX

[MIRCWOOD]

How big is a .28 motor? in ccm and hp?

[madvids100]

i want 1 =)

[familyguylover911]

[warracer03]

electronic, yes the motor is nitro so no

[mollis123456]

Nope pretty sure its not

[familyguylover911]

i want a black one

[redKELLYMHRCH]

I just got 2 of those!

[DaBozzG23]

how do they run?

[YAGO323]

yup. you do not get much for $700.

[timbulb]

What do you mean? I'd say it's a pretty good deal.

[chadsmith581]

does all the rc8t rtr have all the fuel bottle glow igniter and fuel bottle like this

[TheAnaspot]

yes the rc8t RTR includes Fuel Bottle, Glow Igniter and printed instructions

[kenworthit]

This is my fav, one cool truck looks so real and very well designed,Awesome!thanks fellas Cheers

[Savagex95810]

Hpi baja is way better!

[thinkasshole]

and also bigger

[eaglesdood16]

apples to oranges

[JSZstudios]

I don't know if it's the stock shitty tires or what, but the thing has zero traction. It's like driving on ice on all surfaces. It looks cool drifting around, but the novelty wears out in a hurry. If you are looking to get into racing get a buggy or truggy... This is a toy car!

[t3gt2000]

It's a SCALE CORR truck...It's not going to hook up like a Buggy or Truggy...The purpose of this truck is to mimic the REAL CORR trucks, and that's just what the sliding and drifting is all about--The Real trucks slide and drift around the track....

but if you want more grip, Buggy tires do fit it--it IS an extended RC8 Buggy under that body...

[eyeAMtwinkEE]

Damn Wal-Mart. Selling knock-off rc vehicles.

[yamaharaptor50]

there only $800-900 $ woohoo and i have seen this car last week its not that new lol jump off the slow boat

[AlmostCommon]

Hope it comes with tough axle carriers. The wheels on my slayer let the rims dig into the dirt. Broke the axle carriers so quick, but everything else is pretty tough.

[VXLBeast]

Cool, looks like associated couaght on to traxxas's succes with the slash and slayer, hopefully other companys will follow.

[emoklan]

Even though Traxxas's shitty models have no roll cage.

[VXLBeast]

Oh yah, your right. No real cage. Well now the slash is worthless. WHat were they thinking?

lol

[emoklan]

The Slash was meant to be a cheap entry level hobby truck. It has a terrible stock motor, and the only redeeming feature it has is the water sealed electronics. They want above and beyond with the Slayer, but they went sub par with the Slash. The SC8 is a better all round performer.

[VXLBeast]

I agree for the most part, although the titan motor can be quite reliable if it is maintenanced regularly. It is kind of hard to compare a 2wd electric 1:10 scale to a 4wd 1:8 scale nitro. At any rate, the SC8 is outrageously overpriced, so I can't see those becoming a popular racing class.

[howtowakeakar]

I'm switching to the Venlineon system, I will keep the stock motor to run in the Stock class at my hobby shop, but brushless would be awesome.

[VXLBeast]

Sounds good.  The VXL hauls, I love mine.

[howtowakeakar]

Or you could get a Team Associated MGT 4.6, throw in an LRP Z.28R, a steel roll cage, aluminum shock towers, RPM a-arms, all for under $700.

[RobHCTRC]

and you'd still have a truck heavier, slower, with worse handling, and doesn't look as good as the SC8.

[bowlinmaster89]

sweet, maybe now other rc makers will start making these, now that traxxas and AE have these nitro trucks like this, then maybe they will start having a race class just for these trucks, I would love to race my slayer, and also, When does this sc8 come out? I have never herd of it till now...

[RadioControlYourLife]

You have never heard of AE?... Area 51?... (lol)

Anyway, it's one of the best racing companies in the world. (You can learn more at rc10's website.)

[bowlinmaster89]

yea i know about every rc maker there is i been in the sport for several years, but I was just saying that like ofna, mugen, kyosho, etc... should start making these kinda of core trucks too, then we could have a whole race class just for these type of trucks, thats what i was sayin lol I have the trx slayer, and I would rather a AE product, thats why i wanted to know when it comes out, i wasnt sayin i never herd of AE lol i was sayin i never herd of the sc8 lol

[bigjoe12345678910]

nice
