I wouldn't be that harsh. TA have tried a bit to hard at making the car nimble and flickable as their background is battery powered 1/10 scale which is focused more on lightweight performance, this has come at the expense of dursability with their 1/8 scale. Team Magic learned that very quickly, been fast is important but been able to finish is a lot lot lot more important.

The RC8 is a good buggy but I wouldn't pay the money they want for it. Take the X1 or a Hyper 8.5 anyday. Stronger, cheaper and just as fast.
