i heard there is one that runs on experimental rocket fuel and is invisible to all but the driver. it also is controlled by telepathy. and with a flip of a switch/thought of the mind sharks with lazers on them will come out and attack other cars on the track

i say it like this if u dont like slop in the suspension and the steering dont get the eight but it does handle good like that though.mugen i heard are good and
it likes to be driven hard and the parts are better,if u have the bling get a xray 808 i dont think u will break anything on that thing and it drives similar to a eight i seen 2 of them and they look like they rotate really good

Xray 808 '09 Spec.~~Expensive but high quality. You get what you pay for

Mugen Seiki MBX-6~~Great buggy, suspension don't get sloppy, rock solid reliablility

Team Losi 8ight 2.0~~Lots of aftermarket support and handles nice. I can't justify the high price they charge when the parts wear a little quicker then the cheaper mugen.

Hot Bodies D8~~The only buggy you can claim you got more then you paid for IMHO and is just as fast as the others

Tamiya TRF801x~~Cool nitch in the market. Handeling responds well to aggressive drivers

All of the above can get you to the winners circle. It just depends what one give you a warm and fuzzy. I didn't comment on the RC8 because I have not driven one. And the caster I don't consider worth buying with the amount of DNF's I have seen locally.

Get yourself a new C-6 Corvette. It should
have just enough room to carry your old car
to the track, REAL FAST!!!

I like my Losi 8ight 2.0 better than I liked my Xray 808.


Xray is better quality, Losi seems faster for me.

Keep in mind you don't have to buy a stock car. Joey Platinum is selling custom modded kits now.

Still has the Caster Storm "Fleetwood edition" for sale and is allmost done with his Tamiya "Jeremy" prototype.

If you want a good laugh ask him to throw in some Sportworx tires with your kit.

Where are you from? I need to figure out who it is that needs to get a pit mechanic.... Better yet, call out their name. There is no way our cars are any less reliable out there than anyone else's unless it has blue metal.
