My RC8 broke and fell apart out of the box, and I didn't like having to spend $200 in CNC upgrades to make it track ready. The rear plate, top steering plate, hingepin retainers, lower arms, it was stupid. I went back to my Losi 8ight and have never been happier, and it's a faster car to drive for me. Accerlates better and floats over bumps, the RC8 hops.
