Default RE: New Vehicles Coming Soon

Ok
Ill estimate speed once mine arrives.
I have a hardcased, 3s, 30c, 5000mah pack ready and waiting for it!

I know the 8e's were good for 45mph. If the Mirage can do at least 35 on the 3s Ill be happy. But Im betting it may do 40mph.

I didnt have much issue with the dogbones on my 8e. The rear diff was another story. I never did try shimming them but I know thats what has to be done. The hardened diff gears they had for the shredder series no doubt help alot as well.

was the avalanche XTE slower than the 8e? I mean, its more of a true 1/8 chassis and thus heavier as I understand. Id think it might be more fun on a dirt track.
some models lend themselves to fun as bashing, and others on a track.
The best models are fun to drive either way.
