Status: offline 		Before I go run out and pre-purchase or buy one, I would like to see one run or hopefully give it a test drive. So any ideas? Rumors? Facts? or do I just have to sit and drool .

Status: offline 		Typical Losi, I think the original release date was early August wasn't it? Hopefully that time is going into getting ALL of the bugs worked out of the buggy so the people who get the originals (like myself ) don't get any unwanted suprises.

Status: offline 		it wont surprise me if you DONT see the eight in stores till thanksgiving or after i remember the lst it didnt hit shelves till like 6 months after the release date. my personal opinion is they are mabey having a few issues that need worked out i know that the way they have the fuel tank designed for maximum fuel capasisty so you dont have to run long fuel lines may be one issue with it. if you flip it on its lid during a race and you are under a half tank you will flame out real fast and that was the issue at the roar nats. at the farm adam ezemuzcula flamed 3 times in the amain and from what i understood it was when he wrecked that it happend. i could be wrong on this but it is what i heard. but i also heard it handels very well and can carve some tight corners.
