Well how about this.. I raced a Hyper 8 last season and was planning on getting an RC8 or Hyper 8.5 for this season. Well, a buddy let me try his 8ight like last monday and I was blatantly faster with it. Once I got used to how sensitive his was, I was able to push much harder than I ever could dream about with my Hyper. So I rush ordered one friday morning and got it yesterday! All I need now is my Go-tech and new steering servo... I can't wait.
