Hello lads and it's finally here.











Over the pond we have it! after the release of the buggy the long awaited truggy version has been released, and is worth every penny!
Take a look :

Shouldn't be long till you'll have it

Will update with how it is running and preformance. But so far build quality is great, and all parts are worth every penny.

Discuss here.[8D]

Peace

Took a look at one down at the local shop. Looks very nice. I may go Associated for my next round of vehicles. I've been hearing more and more good things about them locally anyway.

pballdale

yea, deff my next car for the summer series.

I haven't seen one yet in person yet ([:@]), but I am very interested in this even though it's pretty expensive I may be able to get it. The only two things that would be stopping me from a complete sell out is 1: Is the truggy class losing popularity to the CORR class. 2: When is HB going to release the D8T.

does anyone own one? i am going to buy this or an 8ight but i want a pullstart and im not sure if it can be done in this truck. i do race but just for fun an when im at the baseball diamond with friends i dont want to carry a 5 pound box with me.

We had a meeting at Slough on the weekend and I started in 1st with my Hyper ST in the B final with Dan from Maxbashing driving one of these out the box starting in second. Looked really good, well planted, even without loads of setup time, etc. Needless to say, I screwed up on the last few laps trying to pass back markers and lost my 3/4 lap lead to lose by a 1/4 lap from Dan. But his times were consistent and it did look quick.

I'm really tempted as the Hyper ST is a little on the lardy side, hehe.

i'm new to truggys i just got my RC8T and can't wait to start building it . can someone tell me if the pro-line bow tie lpr xtr monster truck tires will fit . thank's for any help

CrysisFX

the rc8t uses 2.2in tires. so you would need a little smaller tires

slinger22

2.2 tires? since when has a truggy ran 2.2 tires?

mtbkym01

[sm=71_71.gif] 2.2? You mean 1/10 truck tyres?, Dont think so.

LPR's will fit with the correct size and offset wheel aswell (I'm not sure what the RC8T comes with)

K_B

2.2 wheels and tires are for 1/10th scale trucks. Any truggy/mt wheel with a 17mm hex will fit the RC8T. The LPR bow-ties will require the larger LPR wheel...

CrysisFX

lol i was thinking of the width for some odd reason. 3.7 is the right size my bad

aric38

thanks for the help i'm sure I will have a lot more questions

INTEGRA

the Kit should come with LPR sized wheels.

j_blaze

i wouldn't worry about that, that will happen to mt class. all the old mt drivers will just convert their revos to corr.

olskoolrc

anyone have more info about this truggy? i am torn between 2 right now the new jammin x2 or the rc8t gonna be a hard choice!

ecocav04

mine is built and brushless and i drove it today for the first time and its sweeet i will be making a post of all the pictures from my build

Takes jumps very well.

HerrSavage

Wow that is awesome looking... It looks to handle as well as in the other, earlier vids of it by those pro drivers...

It looks really narrow though - as in little offset.. Is that right??.. Would partially explain the lazer-like, pinpoint steering I guess..

mtbkym01

Yeah, it certainly seems pinpoint, every little input into the steering has an effect, very impressive

Oasis TR

Here's a better one..plus this video should help some of you guys from Europe understand why the results from maxbashing dont always "work" here in the states..way different type of tracks..
