HI guys i am going to sell my platinum which is only broken in as a roller and will replace with a D8. I have a picco .26 JL RED DOT with a dynamite 053 pipe that was gunna go in the revo but im done with the revo. will that motor fit? it says only .21 but ive seen big blocks though. thanks.

yeah it should fit. but u might be better with a 21. 21. engines have alot higher rpms but 28. have more power. i run a jpx 28 in my d8 buggy when im bashing and run a novarossi toro nero 21. when im racing.

well the trx 3.3 in my revo blew right after break in. So i bought this but im not really into the revo anymore cuz its so hard to work on and eats up all my cash. I had an RC8 with a navarossi engine(forgot which). Are you sure it will fit? i dont wanna buy the buggy and find out that it wont. But i can mod the mount of needed. but that may be bad

im sure it will fit . i have a d8 buggy very nice but advise getting alum chassis.

the D8 comes with a aluminum chassis..... Ve8 comes with plastic....

It does come with the alum chassis. 

thebombster

really because the pictures in amainhobbies come with plastic chassis so confused because mine came with plastic. was there an update.

jmaxey51

are you talking about the D8 or Ve8? the D8 has ALWAYS had aluminum chassis and the Ve8 has ALWAYS had plastic.
