Default Recommendation for 1/8

What is a good 1/8 onroad car to buy?

Why aren't there as many of them as their are 1/10 and 1/12?

1/8 On-road is one of if not the most expensive class to run competitively in R/C. Gotta have nice big smooth on-road tracks to run on, so those are expensive to build and maintain.

That is the granddaddy of R/C, but I never took a liking too it. They are fun to watch. There may be other factors, but the main one I believe is cost $$$$$$.

Default What kind of 1/8th car?

DraftDriver, when you mean 1/8 On-road, are you meaning a car like that was linked in the previous post (1/8 buggy adapted to on-road) or something like this?

This is a Mugen 1/8 on-road car with foam tires created especially for onroad.

More like a touring car...
My only worry about buying one is I have not see to many 1/8 onroad races held in New England.

Check out a facility in Chapin , Connecticut called CONTROLFREAKZ. Their website iscontrolfreakz.com I'm fairly sure you'll be impressed.
