The F8T stuff should be out soon if not already. Iwould suggest if you are going to run CF towers on the F8T, Make sure they are F8T towers and NOTK8T towers. Way different geometery and the F8T towers are way better.

Sorry I skipped over this post. Did not see it. Yes the CC Combo's will fit the F8T. The buggy is where some clearance issues are depending on motor. The F8T has plenty of room for whatever you may want to install.

Yep, 74mm motors will not fit in the caster buggy as a dual pack setup, but they will fit in the truggy no problem.

Are you getting any more RTR F8T truggies in? Isee you only have 1 left!!

When will the rtr brushless truggy be released in the USA.

hakmazter

It has been released, we sold out the first bunch and more are on the way.  Should be here in 2 weeks.

The www.rccaraction.com/castertruggy   has helped spark interest.  That was a pro version with the rtr motor and esc.

How are sales going for this truggy?
what is some of the feedback from everyone who bought one? Cant wait to get mine.
What is the best place to get thet RTR version right now?

vnmsgt

From what I know the Sales for the F8T have been going pretty good. My F8T has been great as expected since its just like my K8T that I love to death. Since the RC Car Action Review there has been alot more interest in it, especailly the race rollers that come prebuilt. The RTR's should be available really soon as I have not seen one yet. I do know if you go to the Maxamps website there should be some vids and info too as Jason from Maxamps currently races one and tests stuff out on it. His will do standing backflips and in his video you can see the front tires turn to pancakes instantly, really cool! You should be able to order the RTR or any of them and parts from holeshot hobbies website or the Caster racing usa website when they are available.

Hey, do you guys think its worth the extra 50% to get the Pro version??

I'm just a casual driver ('basher' - hate that term) and its a big difference in price from the roller to the pro.
Do they use the same diffs in both versions?

CVD don't bother me as they're still half dogbone anyway. Aluminium battery straps I couldn't care about.
I know the aluminium grade is better on the pro, but will the roller still be a durable truck?

vnmsgt

I would get the Roller version then without a doubt. It is every but as durable as the PRO Kit and even still has the 16mm Big Bores on it just like the Pro Kit. Yes they use all the same diffs as the Pro kit does. Really the only major differences are the CVD Axles and driveshafts (front has CVD's on the race roller), and the captured hinge pins and aluminum toe blocks, which alot of other Kits come with anyways. The aluminum on the roller is still very good since is still all CNC 6061 and the towers are 4mm thick which are thicker then some Pro Kits towers.

Thanks for that, just what I wanted to hear.

I'll be ordering one straight after I type this.

nothinglasts

Done. On the slow boat to Aust.

I think I'll be very happy when it gets here, we have the RTR buggy in stores over here
and its a very nice, solid piece of car.
Should be a nice step up for me from plastic traxxas.

You will definetly like it. It is a very tough truggy.

Just got 6 rtrs in with the new 2.4 ghz radios.....

NICE!

Caster Racing F8T winning the Monster Brushless Bash!

Here's a link to our monthly race here in Singapore... Though, this was the first official EP 1/8 Truggy race for us... So the majority of us were first timers

Anyway there were three F8t's... One is the RTR but has the HW 150a + 1880kv fusion. (driven by me)... with the stock cover on 2x2s 4000 25c LiPos

Another is the Race roller (I think) with the same setup as the above. also with the stock cover...

And lastly another F8T race roller running Tekin Rx8 combo (If not mistaken) with the red cover

Anyway after all three heats, mains and many forfeits from almost everyone , the winner was the F8T pro with the Fusion + hobbywing...

We just got a bunch of RTRs in.... Finally. They are very nice!

nothinglasts

Well I've had my Truggy running for a couple of days and I have to say I love it!

By far my favourite RC, as said before I've never had a 1/8 proper kit before but the
handling and strength is awesome. I fitted it out with all brand new gear and have not
even put a scratch on it yet.

If there were more rollers in stock I'd think about getting a second one for spares.

Only one non-Caster component has let me down so far, can you guess what it might be -

the mmm?

nothinglasts

Very close, I was using a HW 80A esc because my MMM hasn't come back from repairs yet.
I thought I would try one because they fit them to the RTR's.

Unfortunately I didn't see the forum posts saying not to change timing on them.

Snipin_Willy

Bad to set those to "0" timing. Did the Lipo's survive?

nothinglasts

I actually dropped it I think 2 settings lower to 7.5deg.
The lipos seem OK, the packaging has been melted off but no puffing and they took 250mah to top up.

Holy %@%^ Batman,

I have never seen one do that! I am going to copy paste your pics and put them in the Caster forums! I've seen a few smoke, etc.... but never a fire.
