Jonathan Bell- No, but we both ran them at the JBRL rd.#7

Integra- Thanks, around this time next year.

Bigedmond- Thanks!

air8- Thanks. 

looneytune- The 8ight and 8ight 2.0 use the same engine mounts. I haven’t used the King Headz engine mount, but by making the chassis stiffer, the buggy won’t be as good on rough tracks.

b-man777- The GRP engine are great. Nothing to be scared about. No plans for a .12 at this time.

Cornerspeed- Thanks Don.

Jamminnay- Thank you.

CarCrazy- 

ABURTON- LOL! It will be a great time.

LOSI MAD- Not sure on the final release date, but should be around Jan.

Tin- The carb settings can be a lot different depending on the restrictor, fuel, glow plug, ect… If the engine is blowing a lot of smoke you should be ok, but try temping the engine with an Exergen gun to make sure.

Smoothone- The new diff cases that come stock in the 2.0 are completely different than the old stock ones. They have been completely redesigned and last way longer.

Furadi- The DX3R and the M11 are both high-end radios. For most “vet” racers, it comes down to what they are comfortable with.

Bigsquidracer- Glad to hear you are happy with the buggy.

Chill_Will- Yes. The radio tray has been redesigned.

Greenracing-= Yes, the 8ight 2.0 will work on the old starter box.
