Then get the sport and get the caster hobbywing combo or the speedpassion combo. I am sure holeshot hobbies can get either setup. Then you can use your radio, servo, and batts...
With the rtr, you could use the radio as a backup or for something else or ebay it since it sounds like you have a radio.

RE: **Caster Racing F8T Brushless Truggy**
Hi vnmsgt I am currently over in iraq and there is a r/c club starting. I bought a tamiya frog back in the 80's and i want to get back into electric racing again. I have been researching truggys for the last 3-4 weeks and decided to go with the caster racing F8T pro. I am really impressed buy the quality and engineering they put into this model. I contacted caster direct and they are going to build me one and ship it to me. I have a question about the truck that i see noone has asked. when i first started looking at these trucks i noticed some have wheelie bars and this one doesnt i was wondering why? Also can you pull the front drive shafts out and run it as 2 wheel drive? These questions might seem stupid but please bear with me as i am trying to bring myself back up to speed on r/c. Thanks for your time in this matter...

RE: **Caster Racing F8T Brushless Truggy**
A few questions..Does it come with big bores and since the rims are LPR size will they work with the AKA tires, the tread width appears to be quite a bit larger on the stock tires. Is their a clear body for it as well..

Hi, hope you can help me... Is the 2045kv fusion motor faster/better performance wise compared to the other motor supplied with the F8T (1880kv)
Thanks

The fusion truggy motor is 36x74mm therefore it won't fit in the buggy. It will turn slower overall, but that could be modified with gearing selection. The 2045 is a 36x60mm motor.

Diggity got all the F8T parts from Caster USA. I would imagine they are almost done making the parts if they are not done by now.
