Mz, I asked AE about the LRP early this year and they said that they had no plans of bringing them to the states. I wanted to know why, they wouldn't say. I did get some info from a sponsored driver who said that AE was not happy with the performance of the .21. I think that they may upgrade it. It is only a 3 port if I remember. I figured as awesome as the .28's are that the .21 would be pretty good too. But, from what I hear they don't have the umph that they need. There are a lot of good .21s out there. There are some good budget one's too. If you are dead set on the .21, it looks like it will definitely have to be imported.

My RC8 should be here this week (I hope). I am putting a Werks B7 .21 with the 2013 pipe to go with it. I'm excited and it's getting hard to wait.

mrzero, which werks b7 do you have? teamline or the pro? the pro's are crap. i've seen many of them and i even know a werks sponsored driver who won't run the pro because it's so bad. but the teamline is a good engine i've got one and it's awesome, it treats me really well.

I've got the Team line. I recommended Werks to a good friend and he bought the Pro. Nobody can get that thing to run, you just can't tune it. I felt bad; he spent a lot of money on that Pro. I ran in the B7 on my ST-1 and it is pretty much ready to put a race tune on for my RC8. I was impressed with the way that it ran on that truggy. I bet it will be the ticket for that buggy.

mine screams on my matrix, but some of them have a tendency for the rear bearings to go out. ceramics aren't made which sucks..but it's a really good engine..

Has anybodys local LHS received the rc8s yet im in the dallas area and no LHS around here has got them in yet...most LHS are suppose to be getting them either this week or next week right??

i live in iowa and my LHS said friday.

Mine will be in tomorrow. I'll get some pics. I'm putting an O.S. v-spec .21 on it with the Jammin JR-3 pipe. (motor wont be in till thursday argg!!!!!) I'll keep you updated.

I don't mean this in any bad way, but we sound like a bunch of kids in a toy store. I mean I am as antsy as anybody waiting for mine to get here. But, all of us are just funny.
Really, I can't wait but it makes me laugh a myself.

man im a kid at heart for anything new, guns/rc/motorcycles/ anything!!! im 36 yrs. old and my wife thinks im an over grown kid. when we go to the mall she just drops me off at scheels all sports and knows right where to find me like 3 hrs. later but last time we went there a week ago i was waiting at the front door with a new 1500.00 shotgun. LOL!!!!! ITS MY MONEY!!!!! she go tme back by spending 1200.00 on a stupid kirby vacume cleaner!!!![:@][:'(] god what a peice of junk that thing is! [>:][:'(][:@][&o]

Got mine!!! Yea I'm 26 going on 12 for this one. This is my first "real" rc car. My revo doesnt count anymore as a rc car which is why i had to have the rc8. I picked it up at RC Madness in Enfield today around 2. The owner of the store called me up told me to get up there asap. So I left work (self employed) and ran up to get it. We opened it up they herbed out over it. So far everyone is really impressed. Even thuogh its built from the factory there is still a lot of do putting all the stuff in the tray. Well its back to work i'll get some pics later tonight.

i love being self employed until april 17th rolls around every year![:@]

i got mine today put my barely broken in ws7 3 rb in and my jr 9000t servos in and my rb 2045 pipe along with my spektrum receiver.I ran it out on the street and there is some road construction going on at the end of the street and BAM!!!!! A dump truck ran over it.I am pissed.If i can get my camera to work i will post pics.This thing is <destroyed>

dude that seriosly sucks.

Running it on the street is not a good idea and now you know why. Have you learned anything? I new a guy that ran his RC in the street and a car swerved to miss it hit a mailbox! He had to pay for the damage to the mailbox and car. [X(]

well that didnt happen to me.That person was probably you.Do you own 2 mail boxes now

dude, i am so sorry. i almost got my old rc18 ran over. that would of been bad enough, but i can't imagine having an RC8 get hit.

Here we go: No motor yet, coming in tomorrow. Took a lot longer than I expected to set up that electronics tray.

No it was not I as I have better sense then to run in the street!

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0091P?&P=SM&C=CBC&V=ASC]rc8's in stock at tower hobbies right here!![/link]
for those of you still searching...

hahahaha u got it ran over

Yea you are one of those guys that get to the track and dont have your motor tuned right and get in everyones way trying to tune your car before the race.Im sure your not a competitive racer any way.

Im not going to pick sides here but looking at 46's post looks like he has alot of experience with these things.

and i'm sure you, as a competitive racer, should know that there are areas around tracks that aren't the streets to run your engine and get it tuned right before a race. and i'm also sure that you are quite illiterate, because if 46u wasn't a competitive racer then why would he have sponsors ie:byron's and sts? sounds like someone else may be the one who gets into peoples way on the tracks instead.
