So I said to hell with it and got both.




Now I can do a direct comparison and see which one I like best.

Horrible choices, you won't have any fun at all. Must be nice! Tell us what you think when you get those buggies on the track.

Townsley

horrible choices?????? those are the best buggies out there u noob. hes gonna have all kinds of fun with those. i wish i had both of those.

Mcfly, youll be the Losi 8 / RC8 comparison guru for sure. If anyone has any questions regarding how these two buggies compare, you are da man!

I think JohnTammi was being sarcastic...

annie_himself

FlyinGN

The Losi 8ight box says "designed and produced in the USA". The RC8 box doesn't say where it was made.

I'm pretty sure the AE stuff is made by Thunder Tiger in Taiwan or Korea or......


The RC8 is brand new, while the 8ight is slightly used. I got it cheap from a guy switching over to a new RC8.

Me and my son are jumping into the buggy thing. Should be lotsa fun.

I just gotta figure out where to find the $$$ to finish both of them and buy all the necessary support equipment.[sm=idea.gif]

I might have to sell off some of the monster truck stuff I have accumulated over the years.




And YES, my wife is HIGHLY pissed.



More to come.

No, I honesty do think you made a terrible decision, you've spent that cash on a whimsical....whim, wellI can tell you that the RC8 WILL let you down on your first outing and the 8ight if it doesn't like youwill never be tamed. For the wedge you've wasted on those 2 you could have got THE SEXIEST looking kit on the market, the XB8 and a fantastic motor with TOFR radio gear and still shelled out less than you would have for those 2

vulpina

yea too bad you didnt get a Hyper 8.5

ttoks

oh da smak get a life would you.. every comment made doesn't have to be a negative one

Townsley

da smak is probably just jelous cuz those 2 would probably smoke his. lol its his money he can do watever he wants. i would of done the same thing if it wer me and i had the money. but i got a jammin that i like, and it likes me. =].

gokartingbob455

hes just mad that he doesn't live in America. i think he has said " use it as a door mat/stop or use it as a paper weight" at least once in every thread that has even mentions the rc8 in any way.

i hope to get an rc8 soon. hope you like yours.

gokartingbob455

i think he made a good choice getting both.......but who cares....... what do i know?

Townsley

lol.

johntammi

I was just stuck on stupidness remarks, would be nice to get the rc8 and the XB8 together. Eights have been the buggy of choice at our track for too long.

cobra26

Nah, you were right the first time: "Horrible choices, you won't have any fun at all. Must be nice! Tell us what you think when you get those buggies on the track."[:'(] In fact, they should be scrapped and recycled immediately - both of them. It just so happens that I am a certified recycler, so McFly505, you can just send them directly to me and I'll see that they are "disposed of" properly at no charge to you.

gokartingbob455

shut up you just want one. when do you say "disposed of" so you mean thrown in the trash or raced at your a track????

loadingpleasewait

Most people on these fourms can't wait to shoot down any other product they don't own. Did anybody happen to see the 08 worlds qualifying in the midwest? Ryan Mayfield with his RC8 had the field lapped 30 min. into the hour long A main until he had electrical problems. Then Adam Drake won with a Losi 8. So i would say they are worthy buggy's along with many others.

McFly505

Situations like these are why I LOVE my country and my hobby.

I can buy what I like/want and if someone else doesn't like it, that's their problem.

My country also affords me the freedom to tell the naysayers to STFU.


I think we all know WHO this is directed at.

It's kind of ironic.
This persons name is very fitting because it seems that is all they talk on here.

Well if you don't want opinions, then don't enter forums...McFLY.

K_B

From what I can tell, McFly never asked any questions

gokartingbob455

its funny how quickly i figured out who is was. lol, oh yes i'm going to take advantage of living in a free country and say STFU Da smak. hahaahah that felt good.

Da Smak

The reason we have free countries is because of people like me thatare willing to put our lives on the line to fight for what we believe in, maybe when you grow up you'll understand but until then dont be a ***** and get off the haters bandwagon, your not clever enough to be flinging insults.

i think this is alright. i live in a 3 bedroom apartment with my 3 buddies and my GF. we all race (yes my gf races at the local point series; sportsman class ). anyways we all have buggy in truggy combos. i have the mugen's, my gf has the xray, my otherfriends, jammin and the other kyosho. we have an rc8 sitting in our living room getting ready to be built, i have to say that its great. i have psersonaly worked on all of them from my friends kyosho to my old losi's.

so in my oppinion all have there pros and cons, its all on how you tune it. personally if i had a chance i would love to own all of them, but i cant (dont we wish though). anyways i think that having experience driving and working on all different types of companies.

my 2 cents.
