yes it first showed up on the Apache. I used that platform as a test lab to see if the concept worked. Since it was just a basher I had nothing to lose if it didn't work. It was originally intended for the D413 (although D812 got out first) but I didn't want to put something unproven on a race car. The CR8 never had them and Josh had nothing to do with them.
YUP.

For some reason, I thought Josh had something to do with it since the Apache is based off the D8/D8T platform.

Hi JQ,
I would like to have some informations if you can tell me, or Torrence :
- Is there any patented part/"mechanical system" on your 1/8 Off-Road cars (for example) ?
Thanks,
Bye !

kyosho shocks, avid rc towers and a few other mods..
in the end I wonder if a RC8.3 will come out or rather an upgraded RC8.2
maybe AE could look for the upgrades drivers are most commonly using on their RC8.2 and sell a kit with them included idk..

AE did that before the RC8 was out. Guess which brand Cavalieri drove?

More recently another company came out with a new car, sent a bunch of them to the worlds and they all got beat by the one team driver that was still using the old car. A few months later, an alternative conversion kit went up for sale changing half the car.
As for running parts from other manufacturers, Collari won a Euro A title when running for Kyosho using a car that was about 70% Mugen.

All of these "hybrid" cars remind me of the old days in Supercross / Motocross when the factory bikes were nothing like what the public could buy. Wildly different frames, Showa suspension on brands that had KYB in the showrooms etc. Not to mention all of the completely unobtanium engine parts.
