New 1/8 needed! !!!
Guys I am looking for some ideas .
I have the original HB D8 car was great . Had a hard time at first getting the buggy to be planted but finally got it . So i decided to get the Atsushi Hara edition . Well long story short i haven't finished a race since . Seems like everything that can happen has happened to this car . All I would like is a car that stays together .
So my question is simple WHAT CAR TO BUY? ?

Haven't got any problems with finishing races with my Mugen. I think it's one of the cars that has proven itself, although I think that the D8 is also a good platfrom?
What happens with your car? Screws comming lose? Or are you breaking parts?

Got a buddy that runs a d8 hara. He's never failed to finish a race due to anything chassis related that i can think of. You have to check every screw on every car after every run. Save u from some DNF's. And it only takes a minute or 2 after each qualifier.

As funny as that sounds that might be true . I bought this car prebuilt . Maybe its true you get what you pay for . I also read the hotbodies threads and it didn't look like anybody else had these issue's . I'm not sayiny their bad cars just seems like mine is not working out for me .

Losi 2.0 is a really, REALLY good platform. I ran one for a season and a half, just converted it to brushless around Christmas time and have been running it regularly since then. It is solid. I finally blew a rear ring+pinion after almost 2 years. My own fault for not keeping up on the shimming. That car is awesome.
I'm running the JQ for nitro this year simply because I want to. Pick the car that you WANT to run, you will be much happier and more confident.
