so how does it come exactly out of the box? i know its pre-built, but literally is all you do add the engine, pipe, radio system, tires, paint the body and is it ready to drive? or are there other things you need to do?

You will need to check the screws, fill the diffs, and fill the shocks too.

RE: THE ASSOCIATED RC8 THREAD!
 
diffs come filled with silicone fluids 5k front 7k center and 3k rear ,shocks are 1.6 pistons with 50 weight front 40 weight rear. its got a real good race starting set up on it out of the box.
