Yes I think it will be a good buggy like so many others but I hope my next buggy will come this winter and I am looking at the new Xray EC!

I just bought one from full throttle and it should be arriving tomorrow. If there are any fellow RC8 drivers out there that can reccomend upgrades before the car hits the track and breaks something that you know will break please let me know.

has anyone had any issues with the clutch being too far forward against spur gear, my clutch assy went together easily but between different eng manufacturers ive seen a small difference in length of the eng block and were the eng mount tabs are, just wondering if anyone else has had this issue later chris.

Do not own a RC8 but have run into this on other models. The 3 solicitations I came up with is the way the flywheel is shimmed, CB shimmed and different flywheel collets.

yup thats what i ended up doing , using a different collett, havent seen much input on here yet as far as performance , what do you rc8 guys think so far, i like the fact that alot of the screws are all same hex size so your not having to switch tools alot,

Which engine are you using? I have only seen this issue on the Ninja, but there is a workaround for it.
Comments on performance will vary by driver. Some love it, some hate it, as with any car.
I think it's a very good car, but if you like to drive a car very hard, it might not be right for you. This car likes to be driven like an electric more than like a Kyosho.
