I have seen the 8ight T at a track before, (actually 2, and 2 mini crts......), ya, it does seem NICE, I like how it comes with the DSM radio STOCK, and the only thingie that Webdr complained about was the diffs with grease (no biggie), do you have to do any mods of it to get the oil in there??? ya, are the arms prone to breaking in a crash....??? since my LHS sadly doesn't carry parts for it[], ya, I definately want to get something that can last me a while, unlike my 18T[>:], I wonder why the 8ight T is like $100 more, how good are the tires, nice and grippy... also, big question, how does it turn, I have a small track (er, lane wise, 5', also 5' radi in the turns) and want to be able to drive it on there[8D]
Like I said, the 8ights are very durable. You may have to upgrade the shock towers after a while is all. As far as steering goes, the 8ight has the most out of everything I have seen so far. That being said, Its harder to drive well then most buggys.. It handles more like an on-road touring car.
er, is this a "bad thing" so i guess it is REALLY responsive[8D], good thingie I ask questions, er, soo if I were to get one, get another pair of towers and that is all, maybe another pair of arms, depends[8D]
I really wouldn't worry about arms. It's good and bad. Good in the sense that it can be very precise. Bad in the sense that it will feel twitchy to someone that isn't used to it. It really depends on the driver.
