RE: RC8T
Looks real nice but I do not know about the carbon fiber shock towers. They take a beating on truggies and I think will break easily. They should have made them optional because I know they will bring the price of that truggy up a little bit. The Geometry looks like it is close to a kyosho ST-RR which is good. Wonder what retail price will be?

The stock body looks silly in the front. But it will be a bad a** truggy no doubt.

RE: RC8T
never been a fan of the hyper st..even less of a fan now that a buddy races for them..I know all their "problems"..lol..On the RC8T i'm sure that in time it will be a good truggy, For me I am very reluctant to buy anyones "new" truggy..I'll wait awhile and see what problems come up..I have just been noticing a trend in the RC industry..they dont seem to be testing them for to long..the market demands a "new" car/truck..the manufactures get it to market quicker than they use to so their are bound to be a few problems come up..On the RC8 and the "perceived" problems it had..I know that their are a few that have said they have had no problems..I have seen a few of the "problems" break in races..and if their was really no problems..why did associated give newer stronger front bulkheads and A arms to the guys that bought them? Losi had a few teething problems also..no truggy is immune to not having problems when their a new design..I'll let you guys test em..If it's faster than my ST-RR's and prospec's..I'll get one..

RE: RC8T
I see a little bit of the ST-1 in the RC8T. To be honest though I'm not sure I like the RC8Ts design that much. I like my ST-1 just as much if not more than the RC8T.

RE: RC8T
The main similarities to the ST-1 is the drivetrain aka diffs, outdrives, axles maybe, even the brake discs. I prefer PBS over c-hub IMO. I'm sure this is a light vehicle.
