Snaut,

I have an RC8 (mine is the RTR version) and there are two others at the track where I race. We've ALL had plenty of bad wrecks, like when the jump faces started eroding (bad packing job on the dirt) in the middle of our heat and turned into launch pads[X(], sending all the cars about 10' up and 10' out every lap. EVERYBODY cartwheeled hard or lawndarted at least a few times that race, and none of the three RC8s were damaged. I really don't think this buggy is as fragile as people would have you believe.

El Tigre,

Nice looking RC8! Good luck on the maiden race this weekend!
