eight-t 2.0 : 8.5 pounds i believe without the electrics and fuel engine etc.


i dont think i will notice a diffrence im just a club racer.

RC8-T CE is a dialed truggy. So is the Losi, Mugen, HB, and some others. Dont just focus on weight- focus on drivability, parts availability. You will notice a difference in how different truggies will handle, and it's not just about weight. You'll be happy with the RC8, but if you have an opportunity to check out some others, you might want to take advantage of that opportunity. That'll either reinforce your decision to go with the RC8 or will turn you on to something else that you like. Either way, you'll be a better racer in the long run. Just make sure you can get parts locally.
