RE: RC8 Opinions
I don't think you would be dissapointed.
You linked to the FT kit. Is it the same your buddy has? The FT kit would be a better buy than a standard RC8.

The kit is already built...He bought it last year and its muddy...I already left his $75....And Im giving him the other $75 tomorrow. This will extend my collection to 5 nitro cars/trucks And then engine has 3 gallons of nitro through it already.

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT, I have a rc8RT with a OS vzb spec that I have not had a chance to send to ab mods yet for there stage 2 but my buggy competes with the mp9s and xrays all day long, just one word of advice, add about 3 weights to the right side of the chassis like I did, it makes you land your jumps dead on everytime. Here is a pic of my rc8 the body I bought from the net that was pre cut and pre painted for 30$, cutting those dam bodies is a pain in the butt.

RE: RC8 Opinions
Well i just got the buggy home and Its nice...Im taking it out of the box. I need to purchase a received for it to go with my DX3S but it seems to run fine one tap on the box and its purring like a kitten on crack. Got the motor up to 200degrees after holding the throttle 1/2 open. Idles sweet.
