I'm not going to give the answer, but here's another hint.
It's good to see another manufacturer jumping in the game. Made in China, what isn't?
Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!
You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?'
. but the savings is worth the wait!!

Anyone know if they are still landing soon?
Got an MP9E to build and I'm sure I'll be too lazy to do it until all the bits arrive!!

Also, have LRP said whether their update software wrote the ix8 will work on Mac's like their 10th scale stuff ?

I just got unofficial word from AE that we are still looking at 2-3 weeks before they get the iX8 and the combos, so probably 3-4 weeks before they are available in stores.
Anyone think that the 2600 might be too much motor for this track? This will be my first 8th scale buggy...quite familiar with Short Course, TC, and Rally cars, but first 3 diff vehicle that is designed to be insane...

I'm glad to see more guys getting into electric buggy. I'm in for next year. From what I heard somewhere in the 1900 range is good for our track. What buggy did you get.

Fingers crossed the new ESC is out in time for the Clash event. Otherwise I am a bit stuck!

I managed to snag an RC8Be plus TONS of spare parts for a song and a dance. I got two buddies that run Losi 8ight-e 2.0s, and our track NORMALLY has enough guys to run the ebuggies as their own class. If we run with the nitro guys, we make a 3 second stop and go halfway through the main. I'm looking forward to this, as I've been racing 2 and 4wd SC, and 4wd Rally for the last year...put in 5 laps with the 8th scale buggy and fell in love.

Tech Regular
Is there any idea yet if you can solder cables directly onto the esc instead of using the proposed bullet connectors? The posts look a bit thin for soldering and pretty close to the main body of the esc. Just prefer to solder cables in place as then it's easier to get the polarity right and not make mistakes.

I talked to one of the guys at AE about two weeks ago, and he said that there were delays in getting the product from LRP, and that he expected them to hit AE's distribution by mid november. We should be seeing them soon. Of course, when we were waiting for the SC104x4, it was delayed by about 2 months...so maybe I'll get my iX8 for christmas!
