The M8 is in the process of being redesigned. The new buggy will be called the B8......TM sure like to come out with new buggys!
I think the constant redisighning of there product shows a commiment to put out a good product. I notice that they kept a couple of thing from there previous designs. Which shows they have found things that work and are moving to fix things that don't. Hard to be innovative if you do things like everyone else.
1. The flying wing suspension arms
2. Quick release center diff that doubles as a brake protector. really liked that idea a protector to keep gas off your brakes.
3. Quick release gas tank low center of gravity. another good idea
4. Adjustable pipe mount. was never really sold on this idea, I dont see anything that holds the pipe in place. As in no vibration looks like the pipe lays in that plastic tray?
5. Low center of gravity radio tray with laydown servos and wire tunnel and it was quick release. Thats always a good idea the laydown servos part.
They got some good ideas going and atleast there trying to put them out at a reasonable price. Could you imagine if X-ray, Losi, mugen or Kyosho really came out with a
totally innovative buggy how much it would cost. Not to mention how much they already cost with just minor design changes or improvements.
I wish they would have continued with the front shock mount protective thing. I actually liked that idea just wish it was a stand alone piece. Not part of the gearbox brace. All and all I give them an A for effort. Now about the grade for actually being ideas that work and are durable and race viable improvements that grades going to be awhile coming.
