Default 8ight-B kit, too hard for a first time builder?

Im thinking of buying an 8ight-b kit in the near future, kit mainly because i think building it would be half the fun.

I currently own and bash a hyper 8 rtr and savage x so i have the basics of nitro down and replacing parts here and there but have never built a kit from scratch.

I know its kinda hard to judge since you don't know how good i am with my hands and stuff but is the 8ight too hard to build for a first time builder?

Thanks for any advice.

i doubt it would be too hard for you. losi has a real good manual for putting it together and it's fairly straight forward all i'd advise you is that you get your self a good set of standard hex wrenches since it doesnt use metric and you wont have hurt and callused fingers

If you can build a lego kit or erector set, you can build a 1/8 buggy. Just follow the directions, take your time if in doubt.
