Default RE: THE ASSOCIATED RC8 THREAD!

A couple weeks ago I went to a big truggy race, and fell in love with the RC8T truggy. I was especially taken with a pair of them from sponsored drivers there - running Nosram 21RR engines. Sssoooo, I decided I had to have the RC8T - AND the Nosram, and had to get rid of my Hyper ST. So, I found a killer deal on the truggy and got it. The engine with 2063 pipe though was gonna cost a fortune. Then, lo and behold, there was a used one on ebay - 6 liters through it, from what sounded like a sponsored driver(or at least sponsored friends - nobody else seems to have this engine/pipe combo..) Anyway, I contacted the guy directly and asked for a deal - he said OK, and gave me what was a ridiculous deal - the engine, pipe, and 2x Ko propo servos (2365 and 2366) for €230 including shipping(engine and pipe were gonna cost €370 new..) I know it's a risk - maybe the engine is a dud. But even if, the pipe and servos are practically worth it. Aaaanyway, I've been kind of curious about having matching truggy and buggy for a while now..., and I also saw he had his RC8 for sale, so offered him 200 bucks(Euros) for it, and he said OK.. So all this is on the way..

Here're the ebay pics:

Tires are new he said, extra wing, extra tank, etc..







Will post more when (if... [] ) it gets here.. TOTALLY new to buggies, so sure to have some questions.
