I just picked up a H8 and love it . It is very responsive and handles great . It will not make me faster or a better driver. I just bought it to try it out and glad I did . AS for "everyone" saying a new bug is much better is just people excited for a new model . Just because they like the new ones and think it`s better , that`s their opinion . I don`t think you should be whining about a bug you don`t even have . Just because a Pro doesn`t drive a certain model doesn`t mean it`s junk or overrated . I have a Mayhem and can run with the big dogs with it , but no pro drives it so I guess I better get rid of , according to your thinking .
