the 2 share many parts, tho the 8e is larger and faster(stock anyway) the caldera is nearly the same speed if you use a 3s lipo on it(which requires wiring the stock ESC's fan to the reciever)

i have the 8e and my friends both have caldera's. we all have fun with them.

both are good trucks, but there is a $100+ price difference between the 2. the 8e comes with much better battieres, but you will want a decent lipo charger(there is one included, but it takes 4 hours to charge each of the 2 lipos)

yeh, the earthquakes are out of stock right now.
they still have some aftershock 8e's tho. basically the same truck.
oh, and the 8e's have reverse.

either way, a 1/10 brushless rtr truck for 190 or a 1/8 brushless truck with lipos for 300...those prices are hard to beat.
