Well I am "new again" to this hobby...lol. I have been out of the game for about 9 years, so alot has changed.... I just bought the Losi 8-T 2.0 RTR on Monday and after a couple days of break in, I have been very pleased. The only thing I have noticed is bad fuel milelage, but I believe its due to the .28 engine. I bashed around on my local track with a couple race roller 8-T 2.0's and a RC8-T and I was right there with em... a few times they had to catch me... My opinion, for the money, and what all it comes with, u can't beat it... worse case sell the radio system and buy a few hop ups.
